How to replace in DB?
First create a report by selecting dry run from bottom of the setting section
Report will appear in a modal window. You can check there which row / data is going to be replaced.
On the report’s, if you think the replacement is perfect which you want, then close the report window and un-check the dry run and click the Find & Replace button.
Attention: Please check the report and make sure which data you are going to replace. It’s very important because once you replace it in the Database you can’t un-done it.
important: So, before replacing in the database create a dry run report and see if it’s perfect or not. If it’s wrong change the find keyword then try again the same procedure until you see it’s perfect on the report.
