Definition

Database migration exports and transforms CMS records (posts, products, users) into WordPress tables.

Why it matters during migration

Always snapshot source databases before ETL scripts run.

How To WP applies this

Our audits and delivery playbooks reference database migration when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for Migration workstreams.
