Hi all , i have a doubt wich query performs better
Update table a set field1=b.field 1
From (select field1,field2

From table2 where x=z
) b
Where a.field2=b.field2

Or

Create temp table y as
select field1,field2
From table2 where x=z;

Update table a 
set field1=b.field1
From y as b
Where a.field2=b.field2

I ve been told not to use subquerys, but i think this refers to

Select * from table where field1 in (select field1 from table2)

Any thoughts?
Thanks people y'all
