Find & Replace in MySQL

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:54:00 +0000

Somewhere between the backing-up and restoration of a clients MySQL WordPress database we picked up some strange characters. Rather than having to go through by hand to edit them out, we used a nice SQL snippet to do a full-database search and replace.

update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[string_to_find]','[string_to_replace]');

So in this case, to get rid of these weird “Ã‚Â” characters, we ran the statement

update wp_posts set post_content = replace(post_content,'Ã‚Â','');

Worked perfectly for us, it should for you as well.
