Alright, I have a column named id which has 2000 “ids” in them, and I have a newly added field called “name”.

I was wondering how would I go about inserting a list of names so they line up to their corresponding id?

id || name

1 || bob
2 || smith
3 || john
4 || louis
5 || kevin
6 || jacob
7 || tim

My apologies for not being to clear with the question. id and name are both in the same table “cards”. The cards were added in the past with other bits of data like descriptions, colors, etc so there are already quite a lot of id’s that have been generated. I was just asked to add a name field to the table “cards” and insert data from a spread sheet into said name field.

    If you’ve got the data in a spreadsheet, with 2 columns, id and name, you could do the following:

    In the 3rd column of the spreadsheet, do

    =CONCATENATE("UPDATE cards SET name = '",A1,"' WHERE id = ",A2,";")

    then drag that formula down all rows. You can then just run the queries generated. For 2000 rows, it shouldn’t take long.
