I need to update all those who had open X or option Y in a dropdown list to option Z. What's the best way to do this?
Happy to use SQL if need be.

SQL would be the fastest way to do that. Example as follows.

Code:
UPDATE `jos_comprofiler` SET `FIELD_NAME` = 'OPTION_Z' WHERE `FIELD_NAME` IN ( 'OPTION_X', 'OPTION_Y' )

Change jos_ to whatever your database table prefix is and be sure to replace FIELD_NAME, OPTION_Z, OPTION_X, and OPTION_Y as needed. Please always make a backup before directly altering the database encase something goes wrong.
