How to do 3 table JOIN in UPDATE query?

Question

I asked a question and got this reply which helped.

   UPDATE TABLE_A a JOIN TABLE_B b 
   ON a.join_col = b.join_col AND a.column_a = b.column_b 
   SET a.c         


        

Answer 1

Alternative way of achieving same result is not to use JOIN keyword at all.

UPDATE TABLE_A, TABLE_B
SET TABLE_A.column_c = TABLE_B.column_c + 1
WHERE TABLE_A.join_col = TABLE_B.join_col
