/*You can't update multiple tables in one statement,
however, you can use a transaction to make sure that
two UPDATE statements are treated atomically.
You can also batch them to avoid a round trip.*/


BEGIN TRANSACTION;

UPDATE Table1
  SET Table1.LastName = 'DR. XXXXXX' 
FROM Table1 T1, Table2 T2
WHERE T1.id = T2.id
and T1.id = '011008';
