Oracle SQL Plus inserting into a newly added field

quinnd6 · 2007-05-29 08:55:07

Ive added a new field to a table The new field is called Release_confirmation. How do I add the same value to this field for all rows ie. confirm. So Id basically be setting Release_confirmation to confirm for all existing rows. Should I use update or insert?

INSERT == Add new row(s)
UPDATE == Change existing row(s)
