Sorry for not explain well.

I mean update more than one table at the same time with something like this:

update table1, table2
set
table1.f1 = 'aaa',
table2.date = '2001-01-01'
where
table1.id = 'x1' and table2.id = 'x1'

Something like this is possible? It is the best way to do it?

Best Regards,

This is not possible, however you could do two updates in one transaction.
