Global find and replace command to update inventory item descriptions

Long Description:
Use this query to update the description of multiple inventory items. Example if I have computer items inventory and some of their descriptions contain "meg SDRAM" and some "MEG SDRAM" to describe the number of many megabytes of SDRAM. Suppose I want to make them all consistent and replace all occurences of "meg" and "MEG" into "MB".

IMPORTANT:
Commands with UPDATE, DELETE or DROP can ruin your data! Please use these queries with caution. We highly recommend that you backup your database before trying out these commands and to load them up first on a test server. Use at your own risk.

Associated SQL Command:
-- FIRST, DISPLAY ALL ROWS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED. RUN THIS FIRST SO YOU WILL SEE ALL ROWS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE COMMAND. select * from iv00101 where itemdesc like '%meg SDRAM%' -- RUN THE ACTUAL BATCH FIND AND REPLACE COMMAND UPDATE iv00101 set itemdesc = replace(itemdesc, 'meg SDRAM', 'MB SDRAM') where itemdesc like '%MB SDRAM%' UPDATE iv00101 set itemdesc = replace(itemdesc, 'MEG SDRAM', 'MB SDRAM') where itemdesc like '%MB SDRAM%'
