I call that: bad design. 

It's a more advanced feature, so that the programmer keeps control so he
can maintain the integrity of the database. DBase is so old, that it
doesn't care. Mysql can work this way, but you don't need to (same holds
for sqlite, btw) and ADO is so bad designed, you woudn't even know.

If you want to do things good, yes. Or you could make your own update-
