Most ADO wrappers cough up a hairball and refuse to proceed.  That is,
coincidentally, what should be done when you're trying to update a dataset
that resulted from a join.  Unless I'm completely missing something,
actually updating a dataset is restricted to use in cursors, and SQLite
notably does not support cursors.

What people decide to do with their wrappers is their own business, but I
for one would much rather see Dr. Hipp's time devoted to new features such
as the previously mentioned true ALTER TABLE syntax than chasing down bugs
that allow people to support dodgy SQL.

For those of you having the problems with loading data into a hash, feel
free to contact me off-list and I'll help you get around the problem.  The
solution is fairly easy.
