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。

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'
;

如这里所示，Tony Andrews提出的第一个解决方案的通用语法是:

update some_table s
set   (s.col1, s.col2) = (select x.col1, x.col2
                          from   other_table x
                          where  x.key_value = s.key_value
                         )
where exists             (select 1
                          from   other_table x
                          where  x.key_value = s.key_value
                         )

我认为这很有趣，特别是当你想要更新多个字段时。

 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

它工作得很好

merge into table1 t1
using (select * from table2) t2
on (t1.empid = t2.empid)
when matched then update set t1.salary = t2.salary

update table1  a 
   set a.col1='Y' 
 where exists(select 1 
                from table2 b
               where a.col1=b.col1 
                 and a.col2=b.col2
             )
