Thanks for this plugin. It saved me a ton of work having to go through each table
manually and updating it. This is awesome and I'm sure there are plenty of people
out there who don't know how much they need this plugin.

Recovering an older wp install from backups and this plugin did exactly what it 
claimed to do, quickly and saved me a ton of manual effort digging through tables
and sql.
