Short Description
table aliases with updates

Long Description
It appears that table aliases cannot be used in update queries for the table we are updating.

Sample Code
This doesn't work:

update table1 t1 set value1 = (select value1 from table2 t2 where t2.value2 = t1.value2)

But this does:

update table1 set value1 = (select value1 from table2 t2 where t2.value2 = table1.value2)
