      You use SQL for this!

      Code:
      Update mytable set newcolomn = oldcolumn;

      or if you want to copy and add the suffix in one operation

      Code:
      Update mytable set newcolomn = concat(oldcolumn,'.suffix');

      NOTE: there is no WHERE in the statement.

      In SQL NO WHERE means EVERYWHERE. 😀

      Brilliant! (as the Guinness guys would say).

      I should have posted sooner. 😀 Thanks!
