    Manually enter data into the Umbraco Database

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Is it possible to manually update data in the [cmsPropertyData] table?

    I have a bunch of records that need updating based on a property data field.

    For example:

    UPDATE cmsPropertyData SET dataNvarchar = '20' WHERE  propertytypeid = 23 AND contentNodeId = @umbracoId AND versionId IN (SELECT versionId FROM cmsDocument WHERE published = 1)

    Would I need to update another table also? Like [cmsContentXml]?

    Thanks!

    Safest method would be to go through the service APIs. https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management/Services/ContentService

    Write up an API controller, that runs through the required nodes, and updates them.

    The problem is I have 20,000 nodes that need updating. I was hoping for a simple SQL UPDATE solution.

    What other database table get updated when you update a property within a node?

    I did try to update the cmsPropertyData directly but its not showing up in Umbraco. Has anyone made this work before?
