By setting KeyLinks. If you can't be bothered with the typing, set
KeyLinksAutoDefine to true. But do prepare the query in the IDE and check
what IBO gets as KeyLinks.

KeyLinksAutoDefine doesn't always work. You can't avoid the typing if the
query is joined or if a single-table query doesn't include the PK.

Even if you include KeyLinks and they are not valid, IBO won't be able to
generate valid UpdateSQL. xxxSQL has to target one and only one row in one
and only one table. It can use the db_key to do this for a single-table
query but not for the KeyRelation of a joined query.
