Search and replace with Phpmyadmin
Hi I need to use phpmyadmin to replace one doman name with another
for example replace google.com with yahoo.com
There are no http;// involved -- just the doman name as in this format google.com
I want to replace it in the entire database. All tables.
How can I do that within phpmyadmin
Thanks!

THanks to both. I hope I awarded the points correctly using the new interface???? I want to split them if still possible??
A sure way to destroy your site is to do a search + replace using phpMyAdmin.
If you have any serialized data in your database, you must use a serialized data away tool...
For example, wp-cli for WordPress or some standalone script that handles serialized data.
Big Tip: If you do a phpMyAdmin search + replace which modifies any serialized data, you will likely have to hire someone to attempt recovering your data, which will be a long + costly process.
