Title: [Solved]: MySQL Query Question
Post by: Superficial Gallery on April 18, 2009, 09:00:51 pm

Hi!

So I have a ton of pics in my installation.  Most of them get added by batch add, which means that I don't have any titles or captions on the pics.  I would like to be able to update them album by album using mysql (phpadmin) but I don't know the syntax.  Like, I want to change all the captions in album 1 to X (they would all be the same) and the same with the titles.

Anyone know the sql code?  I am pretty sure this is the right forum for this - thanks!

Fairly simple:

Code: [Select]

UPDATE cpg_pictures SET caption = 'X' WHERE aid = 1

Code: [Select]

UPDATE cpg_pictures SET title = 'Y' WHERE aid = 1
change the cpg_ to the prefix you chose during installation. Make a backup of your db before running any manual queries.
