   One table, waterchem, with primary key 'site' has columns easting and
northing with no values in them. A second table, sites, with primary key
'name' has values for easting and northing for each row. I want to update
waterchem with the easting and northing values from sites. My proposed
statement is,

   UPDATE waterchem
   SET waterchem.easting, waterchem.northing = sites.easting, sites.northing
   FROM sites AS s
   WHERE waterchem.site = s.name;

   Is this correct? If not, what approach should I adopt?


No it's not quite correct:

UPDATE waterchem
  SET waterchem.easting = s.easting
      waterchem.northing = s.northing
FROM sites AS s
WHERE waterchem.site = s.name;
