[Mediawiki-l] Urgent: Erase all user options preferences

[webmaster at wikimini.org]

Hi,

Sorry for the "urgent" nature of my question but I have a problem on a
production wiki.

I need to erase all exisiting user options and replace them with the
following ones:

"quickbar=1
underline=0
cols=4
rows=4
searchlimit=20
contextlines=5
contextchars=50
skin=
math=1
rcdays=1
rclimit=50
wllimit=250
highlightbroken=0
stubthreshold=0
previewontop=0
editsection=0
editsectiononrightclick=0
showtoc=0
showtoolbar=0
date=default
imagesize=0
thumbsize=0

The user-options field is a blob and I'm not sure what the correct sql
command would be (I'm not a SQL guru). May I try something like:

UPDATE user SET user_options = "quickbar=1
underline=0
cols=4
rows=4
searchlimit=20
contextlines=5
contextchars=50
skin=
math=1
rcdays=1
rclimit=50
wllimit=250
highlightbroken=0
stubthreshold=0
previewontop=0
editsection=0
editsectiononrightclick=0
showtoc=0
showtoolbar=0

Thank you very much for any advice.
