MySQL search and replace record from a list of records
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> ListOfName text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Carol,Sam,John,David,Bob,Mike,Robert,John,Chris,James,Jace');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | ListOfName | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Carol,Sam,John,David,Bob,Mike,Robert,John,Chris,James,Jace | +------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to search and replace a record from a list of records−
mysql> update DemoTable -> set ListOfName= -> concat(substring_index(ListOfName,'John',2) ,'Adam', SUBSTRING_INDEX(ListOfName, 'John', -1)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.37 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
Let us check the table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | ListOfName | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Carol,Sam,John,David,Bob,Mike,Robert,Adam,Chris,James,Jace | +------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
