Another difference is that you won't be able to use joins for a
complex condition.
And more important difference is that if you have this object already
in memory (whether you know about it or not), it'll end up in
inconsistent state. So whenever you modify a database directly keep
this in mind and avoid direct modifications unless you have a good
reason to do so.
