MySQL

I've recently been moving a drupal site from one hosting environment to another, and the folder structure between the two within Drupal's sites/ is not identical. The main headache I was having was getting all nodes containing attached files and images to display properly. The Drupal image module is particularly unhelpful and unsympathetic about such moves.

A google search brought me to this page on urbanmainframe.com

update table_name set table_field = replace(table_field,'replace_that','with_this');

So to fix your file paths on a Drupal site that you're migrating that will ultimately live in a different directory within your sites folder,

UPDATE files SET filepath = replace( filepath, 'sites/all/files', 'sites/sitename.com/files' );
