Set Default Value in Table without Process() on Server Side?

I've been looking -- is it possible to set a value/update a table without using an HttpRequest?

I'm trying to make my data model work around DT's structure -- and I'd like to try to make a somewhat consistent model over everything.

The idea would be something like:

new Editor(db, "datatables_demo")
                    .Model<StaffModel>()
                    .Field(new Field("first_name").Set("bob"))
                    .Save();

Or something akin to this, wherein the StaffModel table would have a new item sent across with the first_name "bob".

I've used a bit of reflection and it looks like you can do a KeyValuePair<string, string> going across -- but do we need any special identifiers to make sure it is read correctly?

    The "models" used by Editor are used only to get the property names. They aren't actually populated into the model.

    That said, I don't fully understand your question I'm afraid:

    Or something akin to this, wherein the StaffModel table would have a new item sent across with the first_name "bob".

    Could you elaborate on this?
