Is simply opening the table in a database management program like SQL management studio or PHP admin and put the values not an option?

While going through your DB management software would probably be the easier solution, there’s also the [system.tag.storeTagHistory](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC/system.tag.storeTagHistory) function that could work for whatever you’re trying to do.
