RE: Changing data

[Jonathan Hilgeman <JHilgeman@xxxxxxx>]

Try this query:
UPDATE table SET phone = concat("(",left(phone,3),")
",mid(phone,3,3),"-",mid(phone,6,4));
It should convert 0000000000 to (000) 000-0000.

Take a look at this page if you want details on how it works:

how would I change in all rows data that is;
0000000000

to

000-000-0000

or (000) 000-0000

Can this even be done with mysql?

Thank you in advance...
