Yes: it's not an updatable query, because of derived fields and
joins. The only way you could get this particular query to be live is to
define stored procedures for the insert, update and delete operations and
apply their EXECUTE calls to the xxxxxSQL properties. By nature, only
single-table queries are updatable, and only natural output columns.
