Igor, what happens if there are multiple hits for

SELECT frequency FROM beta WHERE beta.term
= alpha.term

There can't be multiple hits, or even a single hit. This statement will
not run, as it's not syntactically valid.

A select statement that would most closely resemble your update statement would look like this:

select frequency, (select frequency from beta where beta.term = alpha.term)
from alpha;

This statement will always return exactly as many rows as there are rows in alpha table.
