You can use the following script to run the same script on a set of databases. Just change the filter in the insert line.

declare @dbs table (
  dbName varchar(100),
  done bit default 0
)

insert @dbs select [name], 0 FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE [Name] like 'targets_%'

while (exists(select 1 from @dbs where done = 0))
begin
  declare @db varchar(100);
  select top 1 @db = dbName from @dbs where done = 0;
  exec ('
    use [' + @db + '];
    update table1 set
      col1 = '''',
      col2 = 1
    where id = ''45b6facb-510d-422f-a48c-687449f08821''
  ');
  print @db + ' updated!';
  update @dbs set done = 1 where dbName = @db;
end

If your SQL Server version does not support table variables, just use Temp Tables but don`t forget to drop them at the end of the script.
