Thumbs up need database (ODBC?) connection to update fields

Hi i have searched in de various posts, also have posted before in a different way on this topic, but I am looking for a SIMPLE way to update fileds in the database , 2 or 3 newly defined fields (I have many books and want to easy find them back by adding cabinet and shelf number)
Not 1 by 1 that is too much work, so if I have a database connection I can scan the books by isbn number which are on a certain shelf in a certain cabinet, add the cabinet and shelf data for this set in the 2 or 3 fields, in one go, and go on to the next shelf)
How to easy set up such thing, I have tried plugins tot populate fileds but they either don't work, or dont update by unique internal ID. (but use title instead, which is not reliable)
Even when I can only list one book by isbn it is still more efficient than i just add shelf and cabinet info one by one, in the normal program interface it would mean many hours of work.
