Update a Joined Table with SQLAlchemy Core

Question

I have a MySQL db with tables set up like this:

Table1      Table2
------      ------
  id          id, fk to Table1.id
  name        name

Answer 1

upd = table1.update()\
    .values(id=table2.c.id)\
    .where(table1.c.name == table2.c.name)

should do it, but if you really have all those foreign keys, you might get errors doing such updates.
