i have URL in db column "guid"
http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Waterproofing2.png
i need to change it to
http://example.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Waterproofing2.png
i need to replace all URL's with
http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/
to
http://example.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/
Use the replace function:
update `table` set `column`= replace (`column`, 'http://example.com/','http://example.com/blog/') where `column`like 'http://example.com/blog/wp-content/uploads%'
Heya easiest way to do that is using replace function in sql
simple
REPLACE(YourString, ‘text to replace’, ‘replace with text’)
REPLACE
performs comparisons based on the collation of the input. To perform a comparison in a specified collation, you can use COLLATE
to apply an explicit collation to the input.
In SQL, wildcard characters are used with the SQL LIKE operator.
SQL wildcards are used to search for data within a table.
With SQL, some of the wildcards are:
Wildcard Description
% A substitute for zero or more characters
_ A substitute for a single character
so Quickest Way
Use CONCAT:

So an example from a friend , change the following

styles/default/xenmoods/andrew.png
styles/default/xenmoods/rawr.png
to this

CODE:
UPDATE YOURTABLE SET path =CONCAT('http://example.com/blog/wpcontent/uploads/', path) ... where ..etc
I always use this query for WordPress database moves
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE (guid, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE (post_content, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE (post_content, 'src="http://olddomain.com', 'src="http://newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE (guid, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com') WHERE post_type = 'attachment';
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = REPLACE (meta_value, 'http://olddomain.com','http://newdomain.com');
