freeraid, what Jobe meant is that it's pointless to make changes to your anope sql database from outside IRC. This is becase Anope will erase and overwrite any changes at the next update. Yes of course you may make changes from inside IRC using a script or bot as your example shows. However, please bear in mind that 99.99% of the time, when that question is asked it's meant from outside IRC as like from SSI or other server side scripting.
Jobe is also right, this is not a good place to start a flamewar. They are not allowed here and this paticular one was uncalled for on your behalf. this forum is for getting help, not for getting flamed and unlike other IRC related communities, we have a zero tolerance for such displays.
Please heed this advice as it's likely your only warning.
