How to edit data in the query which contains data from multiple tables?

Last modified:


If a database engine or driver allows editing fields only from the primary table and denies so for other tables, this limitation can't be overcome straightforwardly, but with FlySpeed SQL Query you can take advantage of the possibility to browse and edit data from dependent tables.

Let's say you have a query like the following:

Your database ending allows you to edit data only from the Contact table, but you want to edit the data from the Address table. 

You can use the Master-Detail view feature to edit the needed data:
