got a small issue: it sometimes give me an error but it continuous past this error so I am not sure how critical this is:

`– -1 `wp_341_wpsc_categorisation_groups`.`default` (ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘default = REPLACE(default,’h1550830′,’h1870666′)’ at line 1)
OK 0 `wp_341_wpsc_coupon_codes`.`coupon_code“

works perfect. I’d just love if it told me afterwards how many occurances it changed…
or filter the results so it doesn’t display the tables where there are no occurances when I search? talking about a HUGE db so it takes ages to scroll down and check

Hi!
I try to replace mydomain.sbdomain.ext to http://www.mydomain.ext and all seems to work fine but after of this, if i launch again this script, it find many other values.
This values are mydomain@sbdomain.ext (see @ instead of dot).
I don’t know what happens if i run again the replace (i can’t test) but i think is best to fix)
