you have to create a procedure for each work

other (sloppy) way is to export sql data, find/replace to a notepad++ and import them again

To update a description you could use the following SQL command from the command line:

Code: Select all

update oc_product_description set description = replace(description, "phrase you don't want", "phrase you want");
To remove "unwanted" from a product_description:

Code: Select all

update oc_product_description set description = replace(description, "unwanted", "");
To replace "unwanted" from a product's title:

Code: Select all

update oc_product_description set name = replace(description, "unwanted", "wanted");
To remove "unwanted" from a product's title::

Code: Select all

update oc_product_description set name = replace(description, "unwanted", "");
Backups can save you from a mistake
Immediately before you start using SQL (if you are not sure about it) you should backup your entire database. You can do it from the command line (in Linux) using

Code: Select all

mysqldump --host=<sql host address> --user=DatabaseUsername --password opencart_databasename > DatabaseBackup.sql
You can restore from this backup using the same command you use to execute mysql commands reading from your database backup:

Code: Select all

sql --host=<sql host address> --user=DatabaseUsername --password opencart_databasename < DatabaseBackup.sql
