When entries are completed there, the user will click an "save changes" button.

If you dig deep into my program, you can automatically submit the SQL update, when you change tabs, if an md5sum change was detected in the fields. No need to have a Save Changes button.(This avoids lost changes if you accidently switch tabs :-) ) Do your automatic magic in the "raisecmd" and "lowercmd" callbacks of the Notebook widgets. But you are probably starting to figure this out. :-)

FWIW, Tk the Tk Text widget dosn't have a "is_edited" flag, so you need to rely on md5sums, or something similar. However, Gtk2 does has an "has_been_edited" signal.
