A Row object extends a dictionary and inherits an update method. It only updates the dict not the record. The us of it is that you can do:
row.update(...) row.update(...) row.update(...) row.update_record() and the last update_record() without parameters will update the database with the previous updated changes. row.update() on its own is useless.
