Administrate a SQL Server 2000 database from Windows and Change a whole column

i have some experience with MySQL but none with SQL Server, i have a computer who host a database (SQL Server 2000) and i have local access to it. The think is that one column of the table NomAntiguedad need to be change from a given date period; I need to multiply by 0.01 all the values of the column between the values of mesano (05/2007 to actual date, format: MM/YYYY).

How can i have VISUAL access to the data base, like when i administrate my data bases on PhpMyAdmin 开发者_如何学Pythonin order to see the tables format?

What would be the syntax of the command to do what i need?

There's the defacto SQL Server Management Studio (Express Edition is free), or Toad for SQL Server (free if <5 people use it in-house) applications...

You need to use an UPDATE statement:

UPDATE NomAntiguedad
   SET your_column = .01 * your_column
 WHERE mesano = '05/2007'

Mind that you might have to use CAST/CONVERT to explicitly handle the data type returned from the ".01 * your_column" calculation because you could be loosing precision depending on the column's data type.

UPDATE NomAntiguedad
SET <Column You're Updating> = .01*<Column You're Updating>
WHERE REPLACE(mesano, '/', '/01/') BETWEEN '5/1/2007' AND getDate()

I'm assuming you're date format is accurate and never changes.
