You can assign variables directly in an update statement. You do not need to use a select statement to assign a value to a variable. When you declare a variable, it has the value NULL. Here is the syntax:
update [[database.]owner.] {table_name | view_name} set [[[database.]owner.]{table_name. | view_name.}] column_name1 = {expression1 | null | (select_statement)} | variable_name1 = {expression1 | null} [, column_name2 = {expression2 | null | (select_statement)}]... | [, variable_name2 = {expression2 | null}]... [from [[database.]owner.]{table_name | view_name} [, [[database.]owner.] {table_name | view_name}]]... [where search_conditions]
