Hmmmm. What does "make it real" mean in this case?

In the original thred, I thought it was said that while construct()
created the objects from data, CDBI still expected the data to already
be in the database (aka it would update the record, not insert the
record after any changes).

In the example above, is there no record in the db backing that
construct() call, and does copy() make a completely new record in the
database?
