TSqlQuery can not create automatically the update/insert/delete SQL for multi-table selects. You'll have to create these yourself.
UpdateSQL, InsertSQL and DeleteSQL use special pre-defined variables :fieldname and :OLD_fieldname (replace 'fieldname' with the real field name). :fieldname is the current value in your DBGrid, :OLD_fieldname the value in the database.
Example:
Code: [Select]
update MyTable
 set Name = :name, multiplier = :multiplier
 where Name = :OLD_name and multiplier = :OLD_multiplier

Note that you can specify only a single query. So updating multiple tables with this technique won't be possible. In that case you can use stored procedures if the database has them and call these from UpdateSQL, etc.
