I need to run a script to update a field of a table in mysql by reversing the string stored in another field of the same table. Original column is term and the one to be filled with the reversed is revTerm. I use this, but it produce an error. Any suggestions?

UPDATE `tu_cla_terms` WHERE tId = '11583' SET revTerm = REVERSE(term)

    You have the syntax of an UPDATE query wrong. SET comes before WHERE:

    UPDATE `tu_cla_terms` SET revTerm = REVERSE(term) WHERE tId = '11583'

    If tId is a numeric column you don’t want quotes around its value either.
