UPDATE posts SET userid='1', username='yourusername' WHERE userid='0'

or whatever it is equal to.

The name of the table is `post`, and you don't need to update the username. And that query will just make all the guest's posts to appear as his (even posts that wasn't posted by him).

Use this:

UPDATE post SET userid=1 WHERE username='YourUsername';

is there anyway of making the posts and threads off a Old DataBase in the right order to add to a new database with posts already on it
