My understanding is ORM tools like Hibernate allow you to retrieve an
object, do certain stuff on it and save it back. Before doing actual
SQL statements they check if anything has changed and if so what. This
is pretty easy when you just keep a copy of the retrieved object. Then
only the required SQL statements will have to issued.
