Apologies - solved. One of those days that the KISS principle didn't kick in. The REPLACE in line 2 is not needed and the line should read: SET items.dateaccessioned='2010-12-31' Paul At 06:03 PM 11/22/2012 -0500, I wrote:
I am trying to update a bunch of various dates to 31 Dec. The following appears to be syntactically OK, finds all 1302 to be changed, but does not change them to 31 Dec.
mysql> UPDATE items -> SET items.dateaccessioned=REPLACE(items.dateaccessioned,'%','2011-12-31') -> WHERE blah blah blah; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec) Rows matched: 1302 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0
Help really appreciated ...
Many thanks - Paul
