Does save() check the object is dirty / persisted?

[Clarkee21]

Hi there,

Couldn't find this in the documentation.

Does the Transfer save() function check the object for changes before
actually saving it?

The reason I ask is because I've got a loop going on in my code which
goes over some "User" Objects. The thing is I want to know if I can
just pass them all through to save() to be dealt with (hopefully not
saving the ones that don't need it) or do I need to check them with
isDirty() or getIsPersisted() before I pass it through?

Would be great if save() does as it would shrink my code down a
bit :-)

Thanks a lot,
James

I'm pretty sure that Transfer won't save them unless it thinks their
dirty, but I could be wrong about that.

It would be pretty easy to test, though. Just try it and observe the
SQL that is generated. ;-)

Thanks guys. I did think it was an obvious question, thanks for
pointing me in the right direction though :-)

Cheers,
James
