The Updates item in the menu is fairly pointless.

Multi-tabe query is available, surely? Where it's not available is in

Multi-table update support is an SQL limitation, isn't it?

I don't think so. As I understand it it all depends on the database engine
at the back of it all. Some allow it when it's not ambiguous, others don't.
