About Search Replace DB
Search Replace DB replaces content in MySQL or compatible databases and safely handles serialized PHP strings. It is designed for developers, including when command-line tools or WordPress plugins cannot do the job.
The script runs in a directory on your web server. The developer warns that it can expose databases or make breaking changes if misconfigured, so it should be placed in a protected location and removed after use.
