It is very possible in SQL.... :-) BEGIN TRAN UPDATE tablename SET columnname = REPLACE(columnname,'<hr1>','<hr2>') COMMIT
Don't forget the WHERE clause if you only want to update certain records.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 August 2004 12:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Find-and-Replace in SQL How could I do this in MySQL, just using a query: Find all instances of <h1> (for instance). Change them to <h2>. The only way I can think of is to query the database for LIKE '%<h1>%'; then loop through the results with Coldfusion, doing a RegEx to replace the bits you want to change, then perform another query within the loop to update each record. But is it possible to do this just using sql? -- These lists are syncronised with the CFDeveloper forum at http://forum.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ CFDeveloper Sponsors and contributors:- *Hosting and support provided by CFMXhosting.co.uk* :: *ActivePDF provided by activepdf.com* *Forums provided by fusetalk.com* :: *ProWorkFlow provided by proworkflow.com* *Tutorials provided by helmguru.com* :: *Lists hosted by gradwell.com* To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Oriel House, 26 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DL, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.
