Copying parts of mantis database

[winuel]

Hi,

did anyone copy part of projects from one mantis server to another? Is it possible to make a simple select from one database and insert to another and it will work?


cheers,

If you manage to maintain the same ids for the entities, it will probably work. Maintaining ids is important for the following reasons:

- To keep the links between the different tables intact (e.g. links between issues and their notes, relationships, etc).
- To keep the embedded links to issues and issue notes working. For example, if a description of an issue refers to another one via # [issue number] or ~ [note number].
