I know this is probably a bad way to ask this question. I was unable to find another question that addressed this.
The full question is this: We're producing a wrapper for a database and have two different viewpoints on managing data with the wrapper.
The first is that all changes made to a data object in code must be persisted in the database by calling a "save" method to actually save the changes. The other side is that these changes should be save as they are made, so if I change a property it's saved, I change another it's save as well.
What are the pros/cons of either choice and which is the "proper" way to manage the data?
