该语法在Oracle中无效。你可以这样做:

UPDATE table1 SET table1.value = (SELECT table2.CODE
                                  FROM table2 
                                  WHERE table1.value = table2.DESC)
WHERE table1.UPDATETYPE='blah'
AND EXISTS (SELECT table2.CODE
            FROM table2 
            WHERE table1.value = table2.DESC);

或者你可以这样做:

UPDATE 
(SELECT table1.value as OLD, table2.CODE as NEW
 FROM table1
 INNER JOIN table2
 ON table1.value = table2.DESC
 WHERE table1.UPDATETYPE='blah'
) t
SET t.OLD = t.NEW

这取决于Oracle是否认为内联视图是可更新的 (第二个语句是否可更新取决于列出的一些规则 这里)。

UPDATE (SELECT T.FIELD A, S.FIELD B
FROM TABLE_T T INNER JOIN TABLE_S S
ON T.ID = S.ID)
SET B = A;

A和B是别名字段，不需要指向表。

UPDATE table1 t1
SET t1.value = 
    (select t2.CODE from table2 t2 
     where t1.value = t2.DESC) 
WHERE t1.UPDATETYPE='blah';

对table2使用description而不是desc，

update
  table1
set
  value = (select code from table2 where description = table1.value)
where
  exists (select 1 from table2 where description = table1.value)
  and
  table1.updatetype = 'blah'
;

UPDATE IP_ADMISSION_REQUEST ip1
SET IP1.WRIST_BAND_PRINT_STATUS=0
WHERE IP1.IP_ADM_REQ_ID        =
  (SELECT IP.IP_ADM_REQ_ID
  FROM IP_ADMISSION_REQUEST ip
  INNER JOIN VISIT v
  ON ip.ip_visit_id=v.visit_id
  AND v.pat_id     =3702
  ); `enter code here`

 UPDATE ( SELECT t1.value, t2.CODE
          FROM table1 t1
          INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.Value = t2.DESC
          WHERE t1.UPDATETYPE='blah')
 SET t1.Value= t2.CODE
