If you are doing all occurrences of a certain word within a table/field than you can do it with a sql update either at the mysql command line or through something like phpmyadmin.

update tablename set field=replace(field,'string_to_replace','string_to _replace_with')

always check yourself first by doing a select using the same syntax to make sure your results will be what you want them to be. Then do a copy of the table before you do the update, just to be 100% sure.

select field, replace(field,'string_2_replace','string_to_replac e_with') from tablename
