st: merging in data directly from ODBC sources

Hi all,
I am working with many-many ODBC tables, with many different variables
but sharing a common identifier. Is there a quicker way to build
datasets of variables corresponding to the identifier than loading
each table separately, saving it in Stata format, and then merge over
these Stata files?
I found no such use in the help file, so I am afraid this does not
exist. Would it require anything in ODBC/SQL, or Stata would need to
be smart with such a merge, which is just not implemented?
Thanks,
Laszlo
