ASE/CIS issues a dynamic update request if it does not need to examine any column data to fulfill the client request, subject to these conditions:
Only one table is involved in the update statement.
The statement does not contain built-in functions in its where clause.
A column name is not referenced to the right of any set expression.
These relational operators (relops) are supported in search conditions:
=, <>, <, >, <=, >=, LIKE
ASE/CIS passes the update command to DirectConnect as this series of dynamic requests:
prepare (define parameter formats)
execute (define parameter data)
deallocate
Upon completion of the update command, the number of rows affected must be indicated.
ODBC does not support a from clause in the update statement. The access service ignores the from clause.
