Re: Updating multilple tables?

One possible reason you did not google back anything is that what you are asking can't be done in SQL. In SQL you can update only one table at a time. Why not write a PHP function that does the job successively on each table? To list tables in MySQL: SHOW TABLES FROM <database name> HTH Ignatius _________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: <Tristan.Pretty@risk.sungard.com> To: "PHP DB list" <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 15:31 Subject: [PHP-DB] Updating multilple tables? > I have scattered around about 100 tables a block of text... > > I wasn to serach through ALL my tables, and ALL my rows for this text, adn > repalce it with another block of text. > > I've searched n google for "mysql multiple table update" But have yet to > find an answer.. > anyone know an easy way to do this? > > All the tables are on the same database, so I just need to say, search ALL > tables within database > > Tris...? > > ********************************************************************* > The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for > the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above. > If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient or an agent > responsible for delivering it to the intended recipient, you are hereby > notified that you have received this document in error and that any > review, dissemination, distribution, or copying of this message is > strictly prohibited.
