In IBO you can set RequestLive to true which tells IBO to figure out what
UPDATE statement to use automatically. If you want to take control of what
SQL statement is used to process an update then you plug it into the
UpdateSQL property. By doing so, it allows the dataset to go into edit
state.

If you haven't put in your own UpdateSQL property value with your UPDATE
statement or set RequestLive to true then your dataset will not allow you to
go into edit state. You will simply get an error.
