   I am trying to synchronize a test and production database and had a question on the wp_postmeta table.

   In the wp_postmeda table, there is an entry for an attached file (meta_key = _wp_attached_file) with a meta_value of the directory I uploaded the file from.

   For example, I uploaded the file from /temp and WordPress placed the file in the /wp-content/uploads directory. However, the meta_value in wp_postmeta table is still /temp.

   What is the meta_value used for? Why is it not the directory the file is in on the server?
