 I did a quick Google search and I can see there is a method or
 procedure which involves parenthesis () however I'm not sure how I
 would change all the values listed above under one command. Can anyone
 please give me a quick example so I can see how this is drawn out via
 ANSI SQL?

UPDATE customers
   SET cust_address = 'foo',
   cust_contact = 'Arthur',
   cust_email = 'art...@foo.bar'
WHERE cust_name = 'iamUNIX'
