MySQL database query help
First off, I should say, I don't ever mess with the DB at all, so I am really unfamiliar with it. And I have absolutely no MySQL experience. Google just returned a lot of confusing results, no matter what I searched for, and I know a lot of people around here are familiar with this stuff, and can maybe give me an answer.
I need a way to get the DB to read a list from either a text file or a spreadsheet or whatever, I can format that easily enough. It will be in the format
1 Bill
1 Sarah
4 John
etcetcetc
I need to read the name of the person, find it in the characters table, get the account ID from that table, and then put the number (the first column) into the status field for that account ID. Could anyone help me out?
