    Traditional SQL doesn't support multi-table UPDATE; it will likely have to be two statements. Commented Sep 26, 2010 at 4:55

You can only UPDATE one table. So, you can change your SQL to the following:

UPDATE tableA a
SET a.addr = 'aaa'
WHERE exists
     (SELECT b.id
      FROM tableB b
      WHERE b.id = a.id)
