Updating all rows in a Table

[netfrugal]

I put a new column in a table, and I want to update every row with the same info. I think this is the way to do it:

UPDATE table SET newcolumn = 'xyz'

Is this correct?

I thought so, but when I execute the command, nothing happens.

The column is a VARCHAR, in case that makes a difference.

that is the correct syntax. what (if any) error is your RDBMS spitting back?
