I am working with MS SQL 2008 and I get the following message when I try to execute:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 34
Incorrect syntax near 'The'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 278
Incorrect syntax near 'CHAR'.

Here is my code:

UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET SALARY=(SALARY +(SALARY*.10));
WHERE EEO_1_CLASSIFICATION;

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEES

(EMPLOYEES_NUM CHAR(2) PRIMARY KEY,

LAST_NAME CHAR(15),

FIRST_NAME CHAR(15),

ADDRESS CHAR(50),

CITY CHAR(15),

STATE CHAR(2),

TELEPHONE_AREA_CODE CHAR(3),

TELEPHONE_NUMBER CHAR(7),

EEO_1CLASSIFICATION CHAR(50),

HIRE_DATE CHAR(8),

SALARY DECIMAL(8,2),

GENDER CHAR(1),
RACE CHAR(30),

AGE CHAR(2));

The command(s)completed successfully.

you dont need extra ; after SET in UPDATE. Also why is JOB_TITLE_ID declared as char? i see that you're storing only numeric values in it
