    Description

      This script works fine in Oracle (and PostgreSQL):

      DROP TABLE t1;
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT, c2 INT);
      		 
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (10,10);
      		 
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (20,20);
      		 
      UPDATE t1 SET c1=c1+1 WHERE c2=(SELECT MAX(c2) FROM t1);
      		 
      SELECT * FROM t1;


      SQL> SELECT * FROM t1; 
       
      		 
      	C1	   C2
      		 
      ---------- ----------
      		 
      	10	   10
      		 
      	21	   20

      Notice, the table t1 is used twice in the UPDATE query, as a target and as a source.

      Under term of this tasks will allow to use the same table as a source and as a target in UPDATE statements in MariaDB.

      Currently its not allowed and returns this error:

      ERROR 1093 (HY000): Table 't1' is specified twice, both as a target for 'UPDATE' and as a separate source for data
