SQL Questions
Hello



A specific domain has over 300 links in our database have just moved to a new domain name.

They are going to keep the same site structure, only the domain name is changed..

Is there an easy way to update all the links from that domain in the database to reflect the new domain through SQL queries?

UPDATE Links SET URL = REPLACE(URL, 'http://www.oldurl.com', 'http://www.newurl.com');

Yup - will only replace what you enter, not the whole value.

Unlike...

UPDATE Links SET URL = 'http://www.newurl.com'

I am getting an error message:



Error: Query Error: Failed to execute query: 'UPDATE Links SET URL = REPLACE(URL, 'http://www.idleb.com', 'http://www.2muslims.com'); ' Reason: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; ' at line 1



any suggestions?

Get rid of the trailing ';'

I've found that for single queries, that seems to cause problems, even though it shouldn't.

Hi

Can I use the same command logic to change a specific word in the description or keywords?

Or do i have to change it?
