Does anyone has a list of OGR datasources which support update ?

The tables and test methods have "create" capability, but not update. And it turns out that there are datasources (e.g. MapInfo) which allow create, but does not allow editing of existing data (opening in write mode). Actually the only datasource what I found where it works fine was Shapefile, but I did not try many

I'm using it in Android context, so "big" datasources with libraries (PostGIS, ESRI etc) where it probably works are not really usable there. Built-in simple file datasources are more interesting, but a general way to have a list would be best.
