Directly in the database..
I know its bad and it means none of the Drupal hooks run but its the only way we could do this one particular update easily and in testing other than it not displaying immediately it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects..
By directly do you mean using SQL or node_load/node_save? You should never use SQL to directly update the node. You may programmatically update it using node_load, modify object parameter then follow with node_save. This allows all the other node hooks to operate properly.
