Oracle SQL：使用来自同一表的其他列的数据更新表

Question

Table: names

Id  name    namemaster
--  ----    ----------
1   tomato  tomato/999
2   lettuce lettuce/999
3   carrot  carrot/999

In oracle SQL, how do I run an sql update query that can update table colum "names.namemaster" with name of the table colum "names.name" using the same id? So the end result I would get is:

Table: names

Id  name    namemaster
--  ----    ----------
1   tomato  tomato
2   lettuce lettuce
3   carrot  carrot

Answer 1

Do you just want a simple update ?

update names
    set namemaster = name;
