Hi , i have two tables: 1st table: WA: id, name, code, cat
2d: CA: id, code, xxx

the first one is conected with second like WA.cat=Ca.id , i want to set cat on CA.id where CA.code is in WA.name and try to do sth like that :

UPDATE [WA] as wa, [CA] as ca
SET wa.cat=ca.id
WHERE wa.nazwa like '%'+ca.code+'%'
GO

but it gives me :

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'.

How can i do it ?
