Hi all,

I am very new to SQL, I know how to query a database for information but what I do not know how to do is change the information in that database from directly in SQL. I have a column that has a "n" in it and I need to go in and change that to a "y". How do I do that?

UPDATE tbl SET fld = 'y' WHERE fld = 'n'
