Question : MySQL command to replace data in tables

Hello everyone,

not very familiar with SQL statements but hope one of you can help me out.  Here's what I want to do:

I have a test website which I have populated as a clone of another one. I need to modify the database so that member information stays confidential to the programmers who will be working on the site/database. I need to delete all email addresses in a field and replace them with a bogus email so that programmers who are working on the database cannot potentially harvest these emails. Since the test site does not need them I want to change them all. I don't want to delete the table item because it's required.

Is there a SQL command I can execute in MySQL that will look for anything before and after a @ and replace it with [email protected]  ?

Would you be able to provide me with the exact statement? The table is called member and the field is called email

I know I need to be doing something like: UPDATE members SET email = replace(email,"%@%","noemail@noemail.com") but it does not work and I can't figure out what I need to do.

Thanks!
