There are work arounds.

  1. create a view such that it has 5 table joins and a select statement on 5 columns. Then update the view.

  2. Write update trigger on table 1 and in the trigger write update for table2...continue.

I have not tried this before, so just first give a try.

You can't update 5 different tables in one update query.

You can write a stored procedure that updates that 5 tables and call that procedure once.
