最简单的方法是使用SQL2005中引入的公共表表达式（CTE）

with cte as
(select u.assid col1 ,s.assid col2 from ud u inner join sale s on u.id = s.udid)
update cte set col1=col2

Teradata Aster提供了实现目标的另一种有趣方式：

MERGE INTO ud --what table should be updated
USING sale -- from what table/relation update info should be taken
ON ud.id = sale.udid --join condition
WHEN MATCHED THEN 
    UPDATE SET ud.assid = sale.assid; -- how to update

使用JOIN多个表简化更新查询。

   UPDATE
        first_table ft
        JOIN second_table st ON st.some_id = ft.some_id
        JOIN third_table tt  ON tt.some_id = st.some_id
        .....
    SET
        ft.some_column = some_value
    WHERE ft.some_column = 123456 AND st.some_column = 123456

请注意，first_table、second_table、third_table和123456这样的some_column是演示表名、列名和id。用有效名称替换它们。

UPDATE tblAppraisalBasicData
SET tblAppraisalBasicData.ISCbo=1
FROM tblAppraisalBasicData SI INNER JOIN  aaa_test RAN ON SI.EmpID = RAN.ID

这在SQL Server中应该有效：

update ud 
set assid = sale.assid
from sale
where sale.udid = id

以下带有FROM关键字的语句用于使用联接更新多个行

UPDATE users 
set users.DivisionId=divisions.DivisionId
from divisions join users on divisions.Name=users.Division
