database update question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a database with several hundred entries of file names that end with
.pdf. I have converted
all those docs to .zip, now I need to change all the entries in the
database to .zip. I tried to use
update table_name set col_name='%.zip' where col_name like '%.pdf' && id
= '11'
but of course that changed the file name for id 11 to %.zip. Is there a way
to change all the
entries from .pdf to .zip without writing an update statement for each
individual row?
