Actually, when I took another look at the manual, it says:

        Starting with MySQL Version 4.0.4, you can also perform UPDATE
operations that cover multiple tables: 

        UPDATE items,month SET items.price=month.price
        WHERE items.id=month.id;

So it is even newer than 4.0.1

Sorry, no you can't do this in 3.23.*.  MySQL  > 4.01 supports this.
