UPDATE drup_node SET `comment`=0 WHERE type='review';

Modify as needed with the correct drupal node table name for your installation, and set the type= to whatever the type you’d like to update.

In PhpMyAdmin, permissions to empty tables weren’t available.

I searched for a quick way to easily clear the table and found that truncate does the job and the permissions to do this was there even though it was not listed in the options of phpmyadmin.

TRUNCATE TABLE `drupal_sessions`

I also added a Drupal plugin to do database maintenance weekly to prevent this happening again. Sure enough, the site has been behaving and performing much better since, knock on wood.
