I'm trying to update the value of a cell in one table to be the value of a cell in another table.

I've tried something like this:

update table1 a, table2 b
set a.description = b.description
where a.id = b.id;

However, UPDATE doesn't seem too keen on accepting two tables in the syntax?

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Chris
