The *TUpdateSQL*. That was clumsy. BTW, if the parameters names must
match the fields names, how can I discern between old values and new
values in update statements? With the BDE I have :OLD_FIELD_NAME and
:NEW_FIELD_NAME.

WRT multi-table update, I don't think I am going to need anything the
BDE can not do, at least in the short term. My requirements now are
pretty easy to meet. :-)
Ciao
