Manually enter cck field data into database
I can't say I'd advise manually inserting data into the database (there are a lot of API functions for CCK that will help you to do this), but that's for another question.

To make sure the node is reloaded from the database after you've inserted your record(s) just run this code:

$node = node_load($node-&gt;nid, NULL, TRUE);


The third argument to the function is $reset, which if TRUE will force the node to be built again from the database, not from the static cache.
