Actually, Postgres *does* support UPDATE ... FROM. I use it quite a
bit. The syntax can be fussy, however.
The following is perfectly valid in Postgres, although not 100% ANSI-92
kosher:
UPDATE A SET 1 = B.2
FROM B
WHERE A.2 = B.2
Fredrik's problem may be simply the table reference after SET; that's
why I'd like to see his exact parse error message.
