    column2 = expression2,
    ...
    column_n = expression_n
WHERE conditions;

UPDATE table1
SET column1 = (SELECT expression1
               FROM table2
               WHERE conditions)
WHERE conditions;

This example will update the supplier_name as "Kingfisher" where "supplier_id" is 2.

Oracle Update Example: (Update multiple columns)

Oracle Update Example: (By selecting records from another table)

                 FROM suppliers
                 WHERE suppliers.supplier_name = customers.name)
WHERE age < 25;
