How to insert same text in one field for 10,000 records table

Hi

How can I insert a text (example: Yes) to the field (Approved) in a database table with 5 fields of 10,000 records instead of add one at a time?

Example:

Name Address Email Contact Numbers Approved
Edward 1111 1@1.com 11111111 No
Peter 1111 2@2.com 11111111 No

Thanks!

what type of database is it?

In most databases, you should be able to run a query something like the following, to set the Approved field to Yes for every record in tablename.

Code:

UPDATE tablename SET Approved = 'Yes';

Hi trevelluk

Thank you for code. Now I have another question. Someone has helped me with this php code for displaying 20 rows per page. If I want to edit a particular info like email or name in that page, how do I add the code for this listing so I can edit? If possible, can you show me the modified version. Thanks.

PHP Code:




<?php 
  include("config.php"); 
  # new line to config or define in script 
  $limitvalue = 20; # max of 20 items per page 
  # 
  print "<p class=head align=center>Listing</p>\n"; 
  $dbConnect = mysql_pconnect(null,$dbUserName ,$dbPassword); 
 
  $INFO['sql_db'] = "admin"; 
  $INFO['sql_host'] = "localhost"; 
 
  mysql_select_db($INFO['sql_db']) or die("Could not select database"); 
 
  # get var from url 
  if (isset($_GET['page'])) { 
      $p = $_GET['page']; 
  } else { 
      $p = 1; # if no var in url show page 1 
  } 
  $startrow = ($p-1)*$limitvalue+1; 
  $query = "SELECT * FROM Members WHERE Approved = 'No' And 1 ORDER BY 'UserID' DESC LIMIT $startrow, $limitvalue"; 
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error '.mysql_errno().' in query: <br />'.mysql_error().'<br />'); 
 
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 
      $name = $row['Fullname']; 
      $surname = $row['Surname']; 
      $email = $row['Email']; 
      $approved = $row['Approved']; 
      echo (" 
          <table width='95%' align='center'> 
          <tr> 
          <td class='outline' valign='top' style='padding-left:5px;'> 
          <b>Full Name:</b> $surname $name<br /> 
          <b>Email:</b> $email<br /> 
          <b>Approved:</b> $approved<br /> 
          </td> 
          </tr> 
          </table> 
          <br /> "); 
  } 
$q = mysql_query("select COUNT(UserID) AS t from Members"); 
$r = mysql_fetch_assoc($q); 
if ($startrow + $limitvalue < $r['t']) { 
//  if ($startrow + $limitvalue < mysql_num_rows($result)) { # if last showed value is not the last one show the link 
$p++; 
echo '<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?page='.$p.'">Next page</a>' ;  } 
  ?>

Hi

Is it possible to include editing while showing a list of 20 records? Or do I need to write another php to do the editing?

Thanks!

(sorry for delay in responding)

PHP isn't really one of my strong points to be honest, so I can't really help you with this. Sorry.

Hi

It is okay as I am just as new as you with PHP and MySQL.

Anyone else out there has an idea how I can include the EDIT feature beside individual listing of 20 records to update?

Thanks!
