How to bulk update the products last modified?

Hello -

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on what is really (I thnk) a MySQL question. I believe that an easy populate import created some bad dates in my products table (both data added and last modified. I am experiencing to negative results - old products are showing up in the new products view, and the date last modified is included in the sitemap.xml which google webmaster tools is comlaining about.

I would to be able to bulk modify those date fields... help?!:shocking: I'm fairly comfortable with SQL and sysadmin type stuff...

Yes, you may update the last_modified_date field in the database.
