When you turn up the debug level using (for example) DB_DataObject::debugLevel(5), then you'll see that DataObject is capable of finding out by itself if an update actually needs to be performed. If not, it will print a debug message like "No data affected by update".

Actually that message comes from the database. - DataObjects, just relays it back. $person = DB_DataObject::factory('person'); $person->get(12); $person->name = 'fred'; $person->update(); // will create and send a query with all data from person. $person = DB_DataObject::factory('person'); $person->get(12); $original_person = clone($person); $person->name = 'fred'; $person->update($original_person); will only create a shorter SQL statement like UPDATE person SET name='fred' WHERE id=12; (where only the differences are sent thorugh as the SET part.)
