Answer 1

I have used this one on MySQL, MS Access and SQL Server. The id fields are the fields on wich the tables coincide, not necesarily the primary index.

UPDATE DestTable INNER JOIN SourceTable ON DestTable.idField = SourceTable.idField SET DestTable.Field1 = SourceTable.Field1, DestTable.Field2 = SourceTable.Field2...
