Off of MySQL.com:
UPDATE [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] tbl_name
SET col_name1=expr1, [col_name2=expr2, ...]
[WHERE where_definition]
[LIMIT #]
So a typical UPDATE command could be
UPDATE email_table SET email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' WHERE id =
'1';
For explanations of all args and options,
http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/P/UPDATE.html
Hope that helps...
