UPDATE Statement
The SQL Server (Transact-SQL) UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a
table in a SQL Server database. There are 3 syntaxes for the UPDATE statement depending on
whether you are performing a traditional update or updating one table with data from another
table.

Syntax

UPDATE table
SET column1 = expression1,
column2 = expression2,
...
[WHERE conditions];
Example
UPDATE employees
SET last_name = 'mohamed'
WHERE employee_id = 10

Example - Update multiple columns

UPDATE employees
SET first_name = 'ahmed',
employee_id = 14
WHERE last_name = 'mohamed';

The syntax for the UPDATE statement when updating one table with data from another
table in SQL Server (Transact-SQL) is:

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

Example - Update table with data from another table

UPDATE employees
SET first_name = (SELECT first_name
FROM contacts
WHERE contacts.last_name = employees.last_name)
WHERE employee_id > 95;
