Answer 1

at least one. http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=209
..excerpt…

  1    INSERT ALL
  2     INTO t1
  3     INTO t2
  4     INTO t3
  5     INTO t4
  6  SELECT owner
  7  ,      object_type
  8  ,      object_name
  9  ,      object_id
 10  ,      created
 11  FROM   all_objects;

Use of views and triggers can do it as well. http://www.dbforums.com/microsoft-sql-server/663921-update-multiple-tables-via-view.html

….Excerpt from above…

CREATE TRIGGER trgInsteadOfUpdate ON dbo.Someview
INSTEAD OF UPDATE 
AS 

UPDATE Person 
SET Person = inserted.Person_Name
FROM inserted 

UPDATE Company
SET Company =  inserted.Company_Name 
FROM inserted 

GO

There may be other ways; but that’s the two I was aware of.
