The Britain Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We have a database with a bunch of entries, around 1300. I need to change the owner of all of those entries to another owner. How do I run a query against this database to easily do this? Is there a query window or terminal? What should the statement/code/format look like and where should I set this one-shot up? Thank you for any guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjell Iver Johansen Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If you’re on a previous version and not the very latest you’ll have the sql toolbox in acp. This nice feature was removed on the latest release 4.7.0. The Britain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word of advice if I may, make first a backup of the dataabase before you run any queries. The best place to run queries would be at the SQL Tab for the forum 's database at phpmyadmin.

Is there a way to craft the query in IPB? 5 hours ago, Kjell Iver Johansen said: If you’re on a previous version and not the very latest you’ll have the sql toolbox in acp.

The Britain Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) @Kjell Iver Johansen I found the tool you referenced and this will save a lot of time. I'm not sure why they would remove something this useful from the software but I'm sure there was a good reason. Luckily I haven't updated yet. For anyone else stumbling on this, it's under "Get Support" in the ACP and then "SQL Toolbox" on the right.

Randy Calvert Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 A nice alternative to phpMyAdmin is Adminer. It’s a single file upload as well. https://www.adminer.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
