Who told you that? If you don't set it to true, your dataset is not editable, even if it's a simple "select * from employers".
You HAVE to set it to True in order to make it editable (and make IBO automatically build the necessary SQL commands for you).
(but I've not tested with RequestLive to False and an hand-made EditSQL property statement...)
