If you set PreparedEdits to false then IBO will parse together an update for
just the modified columns in the buffers. But it has to do this each time so
it isn't as efficient as just having a prepared edit for all the columns of
the record.

In the case you have mentioned it really doesn't matter much since I doubt
you will be able to tell on the server anything more than what columns have
values which differ from NEW to OLD.
