Update dbo.[Abrona Productie$SoCM Client]

Set [Birth Place] = GnGeboorteplaatsenOver.GeboorteplaatsPCD
from dbo.[Abrona Productie$SoCM Client]
join GnGeboorteplaatsenOver
on dbo.[Abrona Productie$SoCM Client].Code = GnGeboorteplaatsenOver.Code
and dbo.[Abrona Productie$SoCM Client]. [Birth Place]=''

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

learn using alaises rather than repeating long table names everywhere


Update a
Set a.[Birth Place] = g.GeboorteplaatsPCD
from dbo.[Abrona Productie$SoCM Client] a
join GnGeboorteplaatsenOver g
on a.Code = g.Code
WHERE a.[Birth Place]=''

hope you dont want to check for NULLs in [Birth Place] field or you've to include that too in WHERE
