How to update all occurencies of value in the table?
Hi,

I have in the table different rows and columns filled with some numbers (1,2,0,9 etc.). I would like to replace all occurencies of number "2" with value "3".

Is it possible with one UPDATE command or I have to write "program"?

Thanks in advance

Or, you could use the replace string function if the data has more than just one number in each column.
