Editing Multiple Text Fields at once

I need to edit about 10,000 text fields by adding in a number zero in front of all of them.
Example: My text field is now saying 12345 and i need them to say 012345 instead.
Can this be done on the CMS itself or can anyone suggest a simple solution.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you have experience with mySQL you could run a mySQL command to prepend the field to add 0.
This could be done via phpMyAdmin or using the MySQL Console Add-On here:

Be sure to make a complete backup of your database first. And if you have a staging environment, that would be preferred.

I have ZERO experience with mySQL. Any step-by-step assistance with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Step-by-step mySQL instructions isn't something we can provide via support. And with no mySQL experience I would strongly recommend against running any mySQL updates on a live site.
We can help make the update through our consulting department. Email the site details to consulting@interactivetools.com and we can provide you a quote.
