diff of databases

    Hi, I was wondering how this plugin push and pulls. Does it do a full replace from the source?
    Or does it do something like a merge where it keeps new data from both tables.

    For example:
    I have a development site where I’m adding new posts over time
    The client at the same time is adding new posts to the production site. When development is finished I would like to keep the data in the production site but also bring in new data from the development site.
    Would the process of pushing development to production remove data from the production site? Thanks

    Hi, with WP Migrate DB the old tables are completely dropped and replaced by the new ones. No merging takes place at any time.

    Hope this answers your question.

    Okay I see. Thank you for your reply.

    What would happen if I just choose one table to pull from but that table is dependent on another table?

    For example, if I choose to pull just the comments table into the dev site what about happen if my dev site doesn’t have the required postmeta data from the live site?

    You’ll likely have display issues / errors if your themes or plugins attempt to access commentmeta that doesn’t exist.
