    It is not valid to prefix the column in the SET section with table alias in PostgreSQL, mentioned in the documentation:

    column

    The name of a column in table. The column name can be qualified with a subfield name or array subscript, if needed. Do not include the table’s name in the specification of a target column — for example, UPDATE tab SET tab.col = 1 is invalid.

    It is also mentioned that this behavior conforms to the SQL standard.
