                                   ......................... ,
                                   (idN, newsPosXN, newPosYN)) d(id, px, py))

UPDATE t

SET posX = (SELECT px FROM Tmp WHERE t.id = Tmp.id),
    posY = (SELECT py FROM Tmp WHERE t.id = Tmp.id)

FROM TableToUpdate t

I hope this works for you too!
