You probably want the IN comparison operator
(http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Comparison_Operators.html)
For example:
UPDATE users SET status=no WHERE name IN ('Joe', 'Wally', 'Bob', 'Cynthia');
Of course, you can create this statement from the list of names by
joining all of the names with commas.
Good luck!

I have a loop which is similar to the following:
while(array contains elements) {
UPDATE users SET status = no WHERE name = array[i]

great, it works but the query runs many times. I want to make only one
call to the database and have all the elements in the array be included
in the query
