Replace a word in BLOB text by MySQL

Question

I\'ve got a huge mysql table (called tcountriesnew) and a column (called slogen, blob type). In each of those slogen blobs I\'d like t

Depends what you mean by "replace"; using replace to show modified text in select:

select replace(slogen, 'bananas', 'apples') from tcountriesnew where slogen like '%bananas%';

Or update data in a table:

update tcountriesnew set slogen=replace(slogen, 'bananas', 'apples') where slogen like '%bananas%';

BTW. Why are you using blob for text? You should use text type for textual data and blob for binary data.
