Right I have a mysql DB for me forum and a couple of people seem to have become deleted Sad.

I have backups of the members table and can insert that no problem. The problem is with posts, basically they are associated with their poster by a member id column thingy. When a user is deleted the member id coloumn is set to -1.

What I need to do is run a query to change the member id to 604 where the username is say henry.

I cant for the life of me work out how to do it though.

Any ideas?

Something like this should work Question (not an expert though. the idea is all right, but the code isn't Smile):

Code:
REPLACE INTO tablename
SET fieldname=604
WHERE fieldname='Henry';

Asked on WHT and got the answer...

UPDATE yabbse_messages SET id_member = 604 WHERE postername = 'BOB';

Works fine Smile
