You might try to export the database file to something like csv. One you 
have it in a text file format, you could do things like find and replace 
in a text editor or excel. Once you have things sorted, you could 
re-import the csv into SQLite. The Firefox SQLite manager lets you 
export a table from a database and also to import one, so that might 
work for you.
