That was my first thought too but actually I think you have over reduced it.

it reduces to

UPDATE t_connector SET StyleEx =

   (SELECT *something*
     FROM t_operation os, t_operation ot, t_operationparams ps, t_operationparams pt

    WHERE ....
   )
AND t_connector.Connector_ID = c.Connector_ID

So in addition to no where clause on the update, I also don't see a table defined with an alias of c.
