Modify only one field

Hello,

Is there a better solution to modify only the specified field on a
table than :
self.__class__.objects.filter(id=self.id).update(myfield='new awesome
value')
?
I have been looking for a cleaner solution for a long time without
success, while waiting for that ( https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4102
).

If it is the best solution, is there any drawback with that solution ?
I suppose there is a read on the database because of the
objects.filter(). And we lose the possibility to use save() and
clean() before update, which I usually enjoy to override.

Regards,
