Even less reason to couple the user interface to database operations.  Are
you really sure your users want to micromanage moving of data between
transient (RAM) and persistent (disk) storage?

I got rid of the 'Save' menu from my programs many years ago because users
really should not have to care about that, or worry if they have saved
their work.  I made sure there was a very robust undo mechanism as well as
a way of seeing what things looked like at any point in the past.

These days requiring users to tell the program when to copy data from
transient storage to persistent is very anachronistic.  As an example
you'll notice that no mobile apps do that, and most web ones don't either.
