Will an ASSIGN Always Write to the Physical Database?
NO, it will not.
All ASSIGN statements to a database table are flushed to the database
at the end of the transaction. If at the time of the flush none of
the fields has physically changed data (i.e. same data reassigned to
the field) the record is not rewritten to the database (since it has
not logically changed).
