这是Mysql和Maria DB最简单和最好的

UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id

注意:如果您遇到以下错误基于您的Mysql/Maria DB版本“错误代码:1175。您正在使用安全更新模式，并且您试图更新一个没有使用KEY列的WHERE的表。要禁用安全模式，请切换首选项中的选项。

然后像这样运行代码

SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;
UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id

我相信一个带JOIN的UPDATE FROM会有帮助:

MS SQL

UPDATE
    Sales_Import
SET
    Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM
    Sales_Import SI
INNER JOIN
    RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
ON 
    SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;

MySQL和MariaDB

UPDATE
    Sales_Import SI,
    RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
SET
    SI.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
WHERE
    SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;

PostgreSQL的:

UPDATE Sales_Import SI
SET AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
WHERE RAN.LeadID = SI.LeadID; 

它与postgresql一起工作

UPDATE application
SET omts_received_date = (
    SELECT
        date_created
    FROM
        application_history
    WHERE
        application.id = application_history.application_id
    AND application_history.application_status_id = 8
);

如果以上答案不适合你，试试这个

Update Sales_Import A left join RetrieveAccountNumber B on A.LeadID = B.LeadID
Set A.AccountNumber = B.AccountNumber
where A.LeadID = B.LeadID 

似乎你正在使用MSSQL，然后，如果我没记错，它是这样做的:

UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import] SET [AccountNumber] = 
RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber 
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber 
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import].LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
