You need to do it in a mySQL utility like phpmyAdmin (web utility) or Sequel Pro (great mac app) or on the command line.

This. +1 for SequelPro. Beware: MySQL commands like this are instantly activated and can’t be undone easily — there’s no ‘undo’ option, so make a copy of your database before you do stuff to it.
Edit: well, there is an undo option, but it involved writing a SQL command to re-write everything that you changed, and that might not be easy. Backup is recommended. If you can test it on a non-live site, localhost maybe, you’ll at least get an idea of what it looks like without the potential for breaking everything.
