MySQL string replace

Keep forgetting this. Replace a string in all rows:

UPDATE <table> SET <column> = REPLACE(<column>, '', '');

Because I keep forgetting it: ALTER TABLE the_table AUTO_INCREMENT= 0

Run from mysql program with FILE privileges or it won’t work.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/importfile.csv'
INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(field1, filed2, field3);

Note: Path needs to be absolute
