SET is the syntax used in the SQL/PSM Standard.  And Standard SQL has 
always had a FROM clause with a SELECT. 
 
However SQL Server does not allow row constructors, so you cannot do 
things like: 
 
SET (a, b, c) = (1, 2, 3); 
SET (a, b, c) = (SELECT x, y, z FROM Foobar WHERE ..); 
 
as soon as they fix that, use SET.
