Below are a few SQL statements I use to search and replace the value of params in Joomla, in this case I added another value.
UPDATE `joomla_database_name`.`j15_modules` SET params = replace(params, '"cache":"0"', '"backname":"1","backlink":"1","cache":"0"') WHERE `j15_modules`.`module` ="mod_menu";
Here is another statement to search and replace a value in the entire database table:
UPDATE `joomla_database`.`j15_content` SET `desc_population` = replace(`desc_population`, '2010', '<br />2010')
How to: MySQL search and replace, PHPMyadmin, Joomla Params etc.
Wow, Thanks!!! I was struggling with this after viewing other websites… the types of quotes around the table actually made a difference.
I didn’t need to use the Joomla database name, but I was able to make changes to the fulltext field using this, a real time saver.
Glad I could help! Peace
