Hello,

Im working inside of PHPmyAdmin and currently, i have to navigate through 15 tables editing each and every record to change a value.

Is there any way i can execute a sql code that can:

Find the value:

inside every table in every record in the database and then replace that value with:

This will save me a heck of a lot of time.

Thanks in advance,
Nicky

This is a Microsoft SQL Server site, so our T-SQL answers might/will not work for you. Here is what I'd use in SQL Server:

SELECT 'UPDATE ' + TABLE_NAME + ' SET Column1 = REPLACE(Column1, ''SomeText'', ''SomeOtherText'')'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

I'd suggest posting your question on a site that deals with the technology that you are using. Try dbforums.com
