You cannot update a table and add a new column at with one statement.
Updating a table is Data Manipulation Language (DML) and adding a column
is Data Definition Language (DDL) and the two may not be combined.

For the update statement:

> update table
> set column = (select column from table2), ......, set
> column=secuence..

Nope.  Try

UPDATE table1 SET columnC = table2.columnB
FROM table2
WHERE table2.columnA = table1.columnA
