How to properly replace database in Magento 2?

Question

I want to connect my Magento 2 to a new database, I've updated the /app/etc/env.php What other steps do I need to take

Answer 1

The following steps, you need to perform to properly replace the database:

• Change connectivity parameters for the new database in app/etc/env.php
• Check and correct base URLs in the core_config_data table in the new database.
• Since there may be a difference in the entries of setup_module table, you must run php bin/magento setup:upgrade to map all existing modules (with correct version) to the new database.

Note that above steps are necessary. Below steps may be optional:

• Clean cache.
• Compile and deploy the static content.
