What is wrong with my update statement with a join in Oracle?

Question

I am working with an Oracle 10g Database.

I have the following two tables:

T_DEBTOR :
    - ID_DEBTOR
    - HEADER
T_ELEMENT :
    -         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried

update
    T_ELEMENT elt
    set elt.INSURER = (
        select HEADER
            from T_DEBTOR debtor
            where
                debtor.HEADER is not null
                and debtor.ID_DEBITEUR = elt.ID_DEBITEUR)
where not elt.ID_DEBITEUR is null;
