标准的SQL方法是

UPDATE ud
SET assid = (SELECT assid FROM sale s WHERE ud.id=s.id)

在SQL Server上，可以使用联接

UPDATE ud
SET assid = s.assid
FROM ud u
JOIN sale s ON u.id=s.id

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

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

对于SQLite，使用RowID属性进行更新：

update Table set column = 'NewValue'
where RowID = 
(select t1.RowID from Table t1
join Table2 t2 on t1.JoinField = t2.JoinField
where t2.SelectValue = 'FooMyBarPlease');

PostgreSQL：

CREATE TABLE ud (id integer, assid integer);
CREATE TABLE sales (id integer, udid integer, assid integer);

UPDATE ud
SET assid = sales.assid
FROM sales
WHERE sales.id = ud.id;
