Is it field validation, or does it only do an sql update if the entry is correct?
I would love to be able to say 'error' if an illegal value is entered, like you enter a letter in a numerical field, but I don't seem to get the error I expect when trying to do that.

gives you basic example of a use case for this plugin.
to answer your question - it validates (via an sql query) and (if so configured) it updates (via sql query) after successful validation (if so configured).
