Should i check if a custom object is dirty before updating
<p>So i was wondering about this today.  Is there really any need to check if a custom object of mine is dirty or not before updating the object?  The way i look at it is, checking and setting the object for a dirty state is just more calls the server has to make as opposed to making one call to the database.  If the object has not changed then nothing will change but i will still have the information on lastupdated and lastupdatedby to see someone did that. What are other peoples thoughts on this? Is it just a matter of personal preference?</p>
