Auto filling

Hi,
I'm new to MSSQL world and I have a little question:
I have just added a new field to a table containing some 3000 rows...
The new field has the same value for all the existent rows...
How can I automatically update all rows ?
I would like to put "EN" string in all rows... What tool do I need to
use ? (SQL query analyzer ?)
Any site, if this is to complex to explain here ?
TIA
Something like (from Query Analyzer):
UPDATE tblname
SET colname = 'EN'
I suggest you purchase some entry level books about the SQL language, knowing basics of SQL is a
definite advantage whatever type you do with SQL Server.
