multi-table update isn"t documented

Multi-table update isn't documented anywhere and I would like to use it. It
should be documented at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/UPDATE.html .


How-To-Repeat: Go to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/UPDATE.html and note that
multi-table update isn't documented.

This is actually intentionally...

The reason for this is that the multi-table-update code is the only
code in 4.1 that hasn't been properly reviewed and tested. Because of
this we have avoided to add documentation about this to ensure that
not too many users should use it at this point.

As soon as we are satisfied with the multi-update-table code we will
update the documentation.

(Note that this doesn't mean that the update table code doesn't work;
It just means that we won't yet recommend anyone to use it in any way
before it has been properly tested. Use it at at your own risk but
please take a backup of your tables first...)

Regards,
Monty
