In SQL, your database is defined as the alias, so you would open the 
database "priv" separately and then use the database variable when 
executing your sql.

Then your SQL statements would use the tablename. You also need to 
escape any quotes used for field names.  i.e.

UPDATE __Sql_run148.db t1
SET t1.\"pph\" =  (SELECT t2.\"PPh\"
FROM __sql_run147.db t2
WHERE   t2.\"icn\" = t1.\"icn\"
