Answer 1

Following is the MySQL syntax:

UPDATE table1 
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.field1 = table2.field2
SET table1.field3 = table2.field4 
WHERE ...... ;

Answer 2

It is very simple to update using Inner join query in SQL .You can do it without using FROM clause. Here is an example :

    UPDATE customer_table c 

      INNER JOIN  
          employee_table e
          ON (c.city_id = e.city_id)  

    SET c.active = "Yes"

    WHERE c.city = "New york";

Answer 3

UPDATE table1 a
 inner join  table2 b on (a.kol1=a.b.kol1...)
SET a.kol1=b.kol1
WHERE 
a.kol1='' ...

for me until the syntax worked -MySQL

Answer 4

Should look like this:

UPDATE DHE.dbo.tblAccounts
   SET DHE.dbo.tblAccounts.ControllingSalesRep = 
       DHE_Import.dbo.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink.SalesRepCode
  from DHE.dbo.tblAccounts 
     INNER JOIN DHE_Import.dbo.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink 
        ON DHE.dbo.tblAccounts.AccountCode =
           DHE_Import.tblSalesRepsAccountsLink.AccountCode 

Update table is repeated in FROM clause.
