Replace text

Replace text in multiple rows

[TheKiller]

Well hello,

I know you may replace text from a sql table by using something like the fallowing:

UPDATE phpbb_posts SET post_text = replace(post_text, 'ÃŽ', 'Î');

But would there be a way to replace something from two rows at once?

Something ilke this:

UPDATE phpbb_posts SET post_text, post_subject = replace(post_text, post_subject, 'ă', 'Î;');

I know there could be just a second update line of code that does that separtely, but can you do it from just one line?

Like you do for example:

UPDATE phpbb_topics SET topic_time = '1329086612',topic_views = '0' WHERE topic_id =747 ;

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can set multiple columns at a time and accross multiple rows
UPDATE phpbb_posts
SET post_text = replace(post_text, 'ă', 'Î;'),
post_subject = replace(post_subject, 'ă', 'Î;')
WHERE ...;
