You want to do it from Rails rather than modify the database directly.

But you could

```plaintext
./launcher enter app
su - postgres 
psql discourse

```

and have at it.

You can look at [Administrative Bulk Operations](https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrative-bulk-operations/118349) and, I think, find some examples that look like

```plaintext
users=User.where(something)
users.each do |user|
   user.update(field: value)
end

```
