How many rows in each table?
If only one row, why is the schema designed that way?
If multiple rows, why are you changing _all_ rows that way?
I am questioning the schema design that would lead to your question.
Follow on to Ananda's answer: See
information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbname'
information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME = 'client'
