How Do I Change All of the Emails of the Users

I am about to set a site as read-only. It's got about 9 years of ActiveForums content; however, it is stuck at 7.3.4 and all attempts to upgrade have failed. I'm giving up on it. My plan is to start a new site and set this one up as read-only. However, I would like to change the 2900+ users' email addresses just in case something bad should happen to the site.

Does anyone know the SQL that would perform that change?

Backup your database and run the following statements:
UPDATE dbo.users SET email = N'yourmail@yourdomain.com'
UPDATE dbo.aspnet_users SET email = N'yourmail@yourdomain.com'

Thanks so much Sebastian.

I was wondering what the N in front of the email address is for.

Sebastian,

Thanks I got this done today. Just as a follow-up, the dbo.aspnet_users table doesn't have an Email column.

Sorry, email is part of ASPNET_Membership table.

N in front of a string constant turns it into nvarchar (Unicode) instead of varchar (ASCII)
