Here is how to implement bulk update in mySQL with Select implementation using Join through two databases.

You can do the same idea for two tables in the same database, just rename the instance name in below query!

update db2.make
set ImageUrl = (
select ImageUrl
from db1.make
where db1.make.MakeName = db2.make.MakeName
);
