Question

I have a database table in MYSQL with around 1000 rows. In the table I have a column called ‘overview’. In each row, this column has some value and at the end of that value I have a specific line (text) starting with: ‘Source…’

Now what I want is, I want to remove this line from each column and replace it with some other text content.

I believe it can be accomplished with some smart query.

Answer 1

You can simply use REPLACE in your query like this

    UPDATE your_table SET col_name = REPLACE(col_name , ‘Source...’, ‘new_val’)
    WHERE col_name LIKE '%Source...';
