Navision Table/Field Value populated by SQl queries or external procedures

Hi.
I am NOT NEW to Navision however for the company I am working now have a "practice" to update data in general via SQL.
Can somebody send link to a good article why this is not a good practice in our Navision world. It looks like I am the one from the OLD fashion method or what?

    Take a look at the answers to this question here on Mibuso: Inserting data in Navision Tables through SQL Server Query.

    One problem that I've experienced with this approach is that sometimes the data cache on the Service Tier is not updated, because the database modifications are not triggered through the Service Tier. The user might then experience missing data, until they do a modification (insert/modify/delete) on the table, which brings the data cache on the Service Tier up to speed.
