How do I update table1
with results of this query –
select b.description from table1 c join ( SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description FROM table2 a ) b on b.hcpc = c.hcpc where c.description = '0'
I want to do something like this –
update table1 set table1.description = (select b.description from table1 c join ( SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description FROM table2 a ) b on b.hcpc = c.hcpc where c.description = '0' )

Answer
This question has been answered many times in SO… anyway, the query should be built this way
One option
update table1 c set description = b.description from ( SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description FROM table2 a ) b where b.hcpc = c.hcpc and c.description = '0'
Other option
with t as ( SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description FROM table2 a ) update table1 c set description = t.description from t where t.hcpc = c.hcpc and c.description = '0'
Surely there are other additional ways…
