Best way to go about this? -update field in mysql database (php/mysql) *solved*

[hostfreak]

Recently I have just discovered that I had a default of 0 set on a mysql field (if nothing was selected on the form for the field, it would then go to 0), when it should have had a default of nothing if nothing was selected on the form. So what would be the best way for me to go about updating it? I need the ones that contain 0 to be changed to where they are blank. There are a lot of rows, otherwise I would just manually edit them from phpmyadmin. I was thinking this could be done via making a page that selected the field where it had a value of 0. Then making a form that doesn't receive a value and then update it that way? I am not 100% sure how to go about that though. The table name that the field is in, is "users". The field is "id2". Thanks in advance for any replies.

just run this query in your phpamyadmin. MAke sure that the fields CAN be null otherwise it will fail.

UPDATE `table_name` SET `field` = NULL WHERE `field` = 0;

That did the trick, thanks Toon Mariner.

And when you want to change the default of that column you have to do

[code]ALTER `table_name` ALTER `field` SET DEFAULT NULL[/code]
