Importing sql file - duplicate entry error

[lolainslacks]

Hello,

I'm trying to change my albums permissions from "2" (registered users only) to "0" (public for everyone) all at once, so I exported the .sql file, changed all "2"'s to "1"'s, saved and then when I go to phpmyadmin to import the file, I get this error:

Error

SQL query:

I have over 1,000 albums so I don't want to change the permissions one by one. What do I do to fix this error?

You need to empty the table before you import the file. Better yet, just change them all with a db query

Code Select Expand


UPDATE cpg_albums SET visibility = 0 WHERE visibility = 2

Where do I go? To "Query" and then paste "UPDATE cpg_albums SET visibility = 0 WHERE visibility = 2" in the big empty field at the bottom?

[Nibbler]

Yes. Make a backup if you're not sure what you're doing.

Did that and got this:

0 row(s) affected. ( Query took 0.0017 sec )

What exactly have you done? If you already emptied your table or

changed all "2"'s to "1"'s

it's no wonder that the query affects 0 rows.
