IBO does update and insert and implicitly for you in the background,
provided your dataset is updatable (in SQL terms). If a dataset is
updatable then simply setting RequestLive to True will make editing
available - provided your KeyLinks are correct.

If not (i.e. you have a joined dataset and you want to operate on multiple
tables) you still can make your dataset "live" (updatable) by providing SQL
statements in the InsertSQL, EditSQL and DeleteSQL properties. As a
general rule, these statements will be EXECUTE calls to stored procedures
which accept your dataset's KeyLinks as separate input parameters (along
with any other parameters you want to pass...)
