Change value of a parameter in a file[solved]

I have a requirement to change the value of a parameter in a configuration file at a certain time before a particular script (python script) runs so that it outputs debug logs for the script.

There are lots of other parameters in the file but i wnat to change only this particular parameter.

From
Code:
SQL_TRACE=False

To
Code:
SQL_TRACE=True

How can this be done in awk or sed ??

Code:
/bin/sed 's/SQL_DEBUG=False/SQL_DEBUG=True/' filename > /tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ filename
