SQL selective replace
Hi

I have a table which looks like this
Code:
id | name | length | clone | null
1 | string 1 | 12345643 | string 1 | NULL |
2 | string 2 | 2345612 | string 2 | NULL |
3 | string 3 | 3421556 | string 3 | NULL |
4 | string 4 | 1236742 | string 4 | NULL |
5 | string 5 | 2312677 | string 5 | NULL |
6 |string 6 | 12786315 | string 6 | NULL |
7 | string 7 | 2341135 | string 7 | NULL |
8 |string 8 | 452189 | string 8 | NULL |
9 |string 9 | 124343 | string 9 | NULL |
10 | string 10 | 3432344 | string 10 | NULL |
.....

I wanted to replace all names columns having id> 5 to sequence.
Keep the first 5 entries the same but replace all others name = "sequence[id]"
and clone entry to be changed as clone = "sequence[id]"
The table should look like this

Code:
id | name | length | clone | null
1 | string 1 | 12345643 | string 1 | NULL |
2 | string 2 | 2345612 | string 2 | NULL |
3 | string 3 | 3421556 | string 3 | NULL |
4 | string 4 | 1236742 | string 4 | NULL |
5 | string 5 | 2312677 | string 5 | NULL |
6 |sequence 6 | 12786315 | sequence 6 | NULL |
7 | sequence 7 | 2341135 | sequence 7 | NULL |
8 |sequence 8 | 452189 | sequence 8 | NULL |
9 |sequence 9 | 124343 | sequence 9 | NULL |
10 | sequence 10 | 3432344 | sequence 10 | NULL |



i did use this command
Code:
UPDATE tablename 

SET name = "sequence[id]"
where id >5;

What is my error?

Please do advise.

gettxt

gettxt(3C)																gettxt(3C)

NAME

       gettxt() - read text string from message file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The routine retrieves a text string from a message file for the current locale.

       msg_id has the following syntax:

       where  msgfilename  is the name of the message file generated by mkmsgs(1).  If msgfilename is NULL, uses the message file specified in the
       last call to setcat(3C).  msgnumber is the sequence number of the text string in the message file (the sequence begins at 1).

       returns the message

       under any of the following conditions:

	      o  msgfilename is an invalid message catalog name.

	      o  No catalog is specified in msg_id or through setcat(3C).

	      o  msgnumber is not a positive number.

	      o  No message could be retrieved and def_str is NULL.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       uses the environment variable to determine the locale to use to search for the msgfilename message file.  If is not  set,  the  environment
       variable is used.  If is not set, the "C" locale will be used.  The user can also change the locale via the setlocale(3C) routine.

       If  the	msgfilename  message file is not found in the specified locale or if the msgnumber is out of bounds, attempts to retrieve the text
       string from the "C" locale.  def_str is the string returned if a text string cannot be retrieved even from the "C" locale.

EXAMPLES

       The following code fragments are equivalent:
