Modifications to the .db(3) do not get applied in-game on a running server unless it is written to query them. When the server is started, it pulls the information it needs from the database and holds it in memory. This value is read and modified by the game engine from memory until it is time to save (automatic saves or saves on logout) when it is written back to the database. This is why your changes only take effect when you make them while the server is off. Changes you make while it is running are just overwritten. If you are trying to do something like add items to a character's inventory from a web shop, you would have to do so directly from ingame (modifying the values in memory) or add the DB edits to a queue that gets processed while the character or server is offline.
