A simple query I know, but can someone explain the query to insert a value into every row of a table.

For instance I want to insert the value no into every row named screen in table dl_files... Thanks!

UPDATE dl_files
SET screen = 'no';


If you don't want all rows to be affected, you will just add a WHERE clause to the end.

PS I asume you talk about existing rows.

That's right, thanks a lot. Ive basically been modifiying my table from Trafix' jukebox hack so the data works with one of the download hacks.
