Yes, under one special set of conditions. If you have a join set and you
only want to update one of the underlying tables, you can set RequestLive
true AND set the name of the table to be updated in the KeyRelation
property. Provide the KeyLinks are perfect, IBO will then automatically
construct the correct XXXSQL statements for the DML.
