Executing these query take:
Query returned successfully: 290 rows affected, 2542387 ms execution time.
I think that's too many time
I would post the plans that you are getting, otherwise just mentioning the execution time is not very helpful. Also, yet another syntax is the UPDATE foo... FROM tab1, tab2... syntax.

In any case, I thought you mentioned this was a one off query?
