There are a few ways to increment a large number of rows in a database:

1. Use SQL UPDATE statement: You can use the SQL UPDATE statement to update a specific column in the table. For example, if you have a column "sales" and you want to increment all the values by 10, you can use the following SQL statement:

   UPDATE table SET sales = sales + 10;

2. Use Excel or Google Sheets: If you have a small database, you can export it to Excel or Google Sheets and use the fill function to increment the values. For example, select the cells you want to increment and drag the fill handle to the right or down to fill in the cells with the incremented values.

3. Use programming languages: If you have a large amount of data, you can use programming languages like Python, Java or Perl to increment the values. You can connect to your database using database connectors, and use loops to iterate through each row and increment the values.
