To modify all posts to reflect https for a given domain:

show databases;
use <database_name>;
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'http://kinsleylibrary.info', 'https://kinsleylibrary.info');
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = REPLACE(option_value, 'http://', 'https://');


Other commands for reference:
show tables;
show columns from <table_name>;
