Obviously, I found this behaviour (by accident) because I was looking
for it, and because I needed it. Also obviously, my feeling is that
LOBase is not doing itself a favour by restricting usage of SQL in this
way. I would prefer a feature that allowed data manipulation via
queries, but caught risky situations with a warning, for example.

Or is there another simple way of data manipulation in LOBase, that
would not be easier by resorting to phpMyadmin or Mysql Workbench?
