function/class for updating multiple-tables automatically?

Hi folks, I'm looking for a function or class which is able to automatically update multiple tables. The hard thing on this is, I only want to give it some predefined arrays which define the table-structures (and maybe aliases for some fields) and on execution it only gets some field-names and their corresponding values. It should compute then the required tables to update based on the involved fields and update them with the values given. I know I could do it on my own with some work but I'm hoping someone has already developed something like that. Thanks, Thomas
