Migrate One Database to Another in a Laravel Project

Paul Redmond Published March 12, 2021

Migrate DB is a package by Andrey Helldar to migrate one database to another in Laravel apps. Configuring two databases in the config/database.php file, you can use the connection name to run the migration:

php artisan db:migrate \
  --schema-from=example \
  --schema-to=example2

The command will perform all migrations on the source and destination databases and transfer records from the first database to the second.

Currently, this package supports the following databases:

MySQL
PostgreSQL
MSSQL
