MySQL REPLACE statement with dynamic variables

I just wrote a little mysql snippet that will replace all instances of ‘domain1’ to ‘domain2’ in a given table and column. So why not share it. ?All you need to do is set the variable values in first 4 lines of code below:

SET @tblname = "tablename";
SET @colname = "columnname";
SET @lookfor = "'domain1'";
SET @replacewith = "'domain2'";

SET @qry = CONCAT('UPDATE ',@tblname, ' SET ', @colname, ' = REPLACE(' ,@colname, ',', @lookfor, ',',@replacewith,')');
PREPARE QUERY FROM @qry;
EXECUTE QUERY;

Obviously, you can use this technique to construct any MySQL query.
