One thing I have been known to do that may be related to what you are
thinking:
I exported the table's contents to a flat CSV file via my MySQL front-
end. Then opened that file in BBEdit, and did a good deal of
alterations and changes, search/replaces, etc. I'm not sure what
you're trying to accomplish, but I offer this in case it may help.
BTW: If you want to make sure you restrict yourself to a given
'field' of the database for a particular edit/change, either A) deal
with 'whole field' search/replace ('\t"<content>"\t' -->
\t"<new_content>"\t'), or B) only export a given field at a given
time, so that you don't hose yourself.

No, I won't go for that. There are no merits at all in doing things
the hard way. My files are not Everest, they are just files that
need processing. Text can be processed in BBEdit, but the MySQL
front ends of my acquaintance are hopeless at processing text,
however brilliant they may (or may not) be at tinkering with
database parameters.
