[Solved] Mysql: How to update value in 27000 rows?

Hello,

some member created 27000 posts in wrong section (lol Smilie) so i need to edit all his entries to get new section ID.

Code:
SELECT * FROM `phpbb_topics` WHERE `topic_first_poster_name` LIKE "%ozerway%";

this will select all his topics...

the column with forum id is named "forum_id" and wrong value is 4, correct value should be 5

please kindly how the command should look like to update all these mysql rows forum_id from 4 to 5?

Thank you

SELECT 
INTO(7) SQL Commands SELECT INTO(7) NAME
SELECT INTO - create a new table from the results of a query SYNOPSIS
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT [ ON ( expression [, ...] ) ] ] * | expression [ AS output_name ] [, ...] INTO [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] [ TABLE ] new_table [ FROM from_item [, ...] ] [ WHERE condition ] [ GROUP BY expression [, ...] ] [ HAVING condition [, ...] ] [ { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT } [ ALL ] select ] [ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC | USING operator ] [, ...] ] [ LIMIT { count | ALL } ] [ OFFSET start ] [ FOR UPDATE [ OF tablename [, ...] ] ] INPUTS TEMPORARY TEMP If specified, the table is created as a temporary table. Refer to CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] for details. new_table The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to be created. All other inputs are described in detail for SELECT [select(7)]. OUTPUTS Refer to CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] and SELECT [select(7)] for a summary of possible output messages. DESCRIPTION
SELECT INTO creates a new table and fills it with data computed by a query. The data is not returned to the client, as it is with a normal SELECT. The new table's columns have the names and data types associated with the output columns of the SELECT. Note: CREATE TABLE AS [create_table_as(7)] is functionally equivalent to SELECT INTO. CREATE TABLE AS is the recommended syntax, since SELECT INTO is not standard. In fact, this form of SELECT INTO is not available in PL/pgSQL or ecpg(1), because they interpret the INTO clause differently. COMPATIBILITY
SQL92 uses SELECT ... INTO to represent selecting values into scalar variables of a host program, rather than creating a new table. This indeed is the usage found in PL/pgSQL and ecpg(1). The PostgreSQL usage of SELECT INTO to represent table creation is historical. It's best to use CREATE TABLE AS for this purpose in new code. (CREATE TABLE AS isn't standard either, but it's less likely to cause confu- sion.) SQL - Language Statements 2002-11-22 SELECT INTO(7)
