Wondering if anyones come across a similar problem... Probably more of a mysql question - but I'm trying to solve the problem using php.
I need to be able to replace every occurance of a string in many tables, many columns. The string appears in tables in various places and usually embedded in a string type or var type column... The
string will not be the entire contents of the column so a replace won't work.
Eg: my development database contains url links to the development web site. When I copy the tables to production, I want to search and replace every occurance of the development urls with production
urls throughout the entire database.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike
