Hello Everyone,

I have a few thousand database (MySQL 4.0.16) records that I need to
update. The fields are datetime type. I need to subtract 2 hours from
each field (to mark changing time zones). Is there something like a
UPDATE..SELECT (like the INSERT..SELECT) so I can just change the
records with a single SQL statement?

I know how I can use the INTERVAL function in the SELECT statement to
get the time difference, but I am not sure how to update the record
without some PHP processing.

Anyone have any ideas how to do this with just SQL?
