Like for the Mid-Liner models (still not changed in the IMCDb
), Mack's corporate writing for the 1977-93 Super-Liner also used a hyphen:
74 trucks are concerned in the IMCDb, including these (at least) 2 Australian models (already listed in the previous link): this name is still written this way in wombats' island nowadays.
It appears that it is the same spelling for all Something-Liners, in fact.
• US models:
∗ 1975-83 Cruise-Liner (18 trucks in the IMCDb)
∗ 1982-90 Ultra-Liner (13 trucks in the IMCDb). Apparently also known as MH-Series by some of us, but no model is currently identified that way.
• Australian models:
∗ Cruise-Liner
The only truck identified that way is already part of the US Cruise-Liner link above.
∗ Fleet-Liner. None in the IMCDb for now?
∗ Super-Liner. See the US model.
∗ Metro-Liner. Only 1 truck concerned, I'll change it manually, I don't think a specific MySql script is needed
∗ Value-Liner. 2 trucks in the IMCDb that I'll change manually.
==========
Thinking about it twice, and as I'm a lazy person, I won't have to make the manual changes if this script is Ok for you, antp:
It certainly needs some arrangements to fit the IMCDb tables structure, but it would change all Mack Something-Liner in one go, and only them. Tested and approved in a test table I made on purpose

update theTable set theModelField = replace(theModelField, 'liner', '-Liner') where theMakeField like ('Mack') and theModelField like ('')
