Development Data not migrated to Production target using Docker

[miu]

Hello All,

I am using NodeJS + Docker + MY SQL DB Created by Docker + DO.

I want to use the saved data in Development to Production.
I followed this tutorial & also clicked on "Save Database Data and Structure" button, however, when I deploy to Production, I do not see the saved data. The tables are created as per Development targets but without data.

Is it possible to get the development data migrated to Production?
Your help is highly appreciated as I want to go live.

I believe that tutorial is only for repopulating your local database.

The option Wappler provides is "Database seeds", but that may not be the optimal solution for your needs.

Editing Database Data with the new Database Manager

The new Database Manager in Wappler just got more great powers! Now you can edit directly your live table data! You can choose between saving the data directly in the database or as a "change" that will be grouped together with any other database schema changes. This way you can manage fully your database schema, but also make sure the right data is populated initially with the schema changes apply. Also we have added a possibility to generate “Seeds” from the data of any database table. Seed…

I created a feature request for the ability to promote data during migration/publish. Please vote if this is what you need.

Add ability to promote/insert data during Publish

During development, specific tables are created for system actions (e.g., menu items, roles, and permissions), and data is added to facilitate those processes. The data will be needed when the changes are migrated to production. I want the ability to capture and insert these data as part of the promotion process.

Thanks @kfawcett
I used Database Seeds which did my job this time.
Voted for your feature request as I think a solution to be able to migrate critical data is needed instead of creating seeds for each table.
