Re: [HACKERS] update and select

That is correct, and it is on the ToDo list as something like "allow
subselects in target expressions" (though I'm not finding it when I
look).

However, as you suspect you can rephrase it:

tgl=> update x set c = j.c from x as j where j.i = 1 and x.i = 0;
UPDATE 1
tgl=> select * from x;
i|c
-+-
1|T
2|A
0|T
