DB Merging

    Hello,

    Does this plugin do database merging? Or does it simply drop the old database when pulling?

    For example, let’s say we have a dev and a live site. The dev site pulls the latest copy of the DB before doing additional development. Meanwhile, the client updates the live site with some content changes. Can you pull the live site changes down to the dev site without losing the changes to the dev site?

    Thanks,

    Jordan

  • SitePush doesn’t do merging per say. However, it pushes tables rather than the whole DB, so if your changing content on live is in a different table from what is being changed on dev, then you can push without overwriting.

    A common scenario is site with comments – you can make changes to, say, pages/posts on dev and push them without overwriting comments in your live site.

    If changes on both dev/live are within one table (e.g. pages/posts/custom post types) then this won’t work.
