下面的语法适合我。

UPDATE
(SELECT A.utl_id,
    b.utl1_id
    FROM trb_pi_joint A
    JOIN trb_tpr B
    ON A.tp_id=B.tp_id Where A.pij_type=2 and a.utl_id is null
)
SET utl_id=utl1_id;

只是作为一个完整的问题，因为我们谈论的是Oracle，这也可以做到:

declare
begin
  for sel in (
    select table2.code, table2.desc
    from table1
    join table2 on table1.value = table2.desc
    where table1.updatetype = 'blah'
  ) loop
    update table1 
    set table1.value = sel.code
    where table1.updatetype = 'blah' and table1.value = sel.desc;    
  end loop;
end;
/

用这个:

MERGE
INTO    table1 trg
USING   (
        SELECT  t1.rowid AS rid, t2.code
        FROM    table1 t1
        JOIN    table2 t2
        ON      table1.value = table2.DESC
        WHERE   table1.UPDATETYPE='blah'
        ) src
ON      (trg.rowid = src.rid)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
    SET trg.value = 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

下面的语法适合我。

UPDATE
(SELECT A.utl_id,
    b.utl1_id
    FROM trb_pi_joint A
    JOIN trb_tpr B
    ON A.tp_id=B.tp_id Where A.pij_type=2 and a.utl_id is null
)
SET utl_id=utl1_id;

 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
