And then do the same for column B for the words you want to replace with.

Then build a function, in column C, like:
update tablename set field=replace(A1','B1');

where A1 is the word you want to replace and B1 the word you want to replace with. Double click on the black square in the excel cell and let it auto fill downwards.


And then in column D, build then all together, with the & sign, like this:
=C1&C2&C3&C4
to make it return:
update tablename set field=replace(A1','B1');
update tablename set field=replace(A2','B2');
update tablename set field=replace(A3','B3');
update tablename set field=replace(A4','B4');


Then copy the full
update tablename set field=replace(A1','B1');
update tablename set field=replace(A2','B2');
update tablename set field=replace(A3','B3');
update tablename set field=replace(A4','B4');

and paste it into phpmyadmin in the SQL command line and run it.

Just remember that it is, indeed, very powerful, one mistake from you along the way and changes will be done accordingly, so be very careful and take al the necessary precautions!
