Slow Update

Hi everydoby!

    I have a table with more than 26000 rows and I need to use update a
column of this tables on all lines according with a column. So, I need to
use update 26000 times correct? I tried to use a this command:
"UPDATE database SET column1=0 WHERE column2 in (VARIABLES)", where
VARIABLES is the list separeted by commas. But the list has about 26000
entries, so I got a message of too long parameters. Is there a way to use
UPDATE pushing values from a file? Is there a way to run update more faster?
It is taking about 10 seconds for each UPDATE... Does anyone knows another
form to do this task?

Thanks
