Of course. The data is a tad private, hence the simple table and
column names represented in uppercase.

Except for the name of the table and the column, everything is exactly
the same as the queries I'm running. I just pasted those things into a
text editor and find-replaced mytable to "TABLE" and mycolumn to
"COLUMN". (Note: mytable and mycolumn are also aliases for posting to
a public forum).
The problem remains. The other tip -- to loop through each record and
update it -- is precisely what I was trying to escape with a simple
SQL query that seems fairly standard.
