I made a HUGE mistake, and used 'UK' as the abbreviation for the

I've got a database where 8 tables have an FKEY on a table
'location_country' , using the text 'uk' as the value -- so i've got
9 tables that I need to swap data out on
can anyone suggest a non-nightmarish way for me to do this ?
Umm, I think this should work, & isn't all that bad:
insert a 'gb' record in location_country
update <each of 8 tables> set country='gb' where country='uk'
delete the 'uk' record from location_country
