Hi there, i have a list of rows in a database that all have a field in called deleted, this is set to 0 is the field is not delete and 1 if it is deleted. The point is that i would like to convert lets say 3 of the deleted rows to undeleted, how would i go about this.

Hope someone can help

You have to have a way to identify the specific rows you want to change.

Let's say you have a field called myid and it's unique for each row and let's say the myid for the three rows are 1,20, and 57.

UPDATE mytable
SET deleted = 0
WHERE myid IN ('1', '20', '57')

Or doing one at a time:

UPDATE mytable
SET deleted = 0
WHERE myid = '1'

then change the myid # to 20, then 57.

If the myid is an integer you don't need the single quotes.
