    Hi,
    I have 2 expressionengine environments (I’m new to EE) and currently our internal documentation has a bunch of steps to update urls from stage.www.domain.com to http://www.domain.com.

    Yuck.

    Since it’s a mysql database and part of our promotion process is restoring the database from staging to production, can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn’t just do a global find and replace on the sql dump file for stage.www.domain.com and replace it with http://www.domain.com removing all of those steps?

    Is there anything that actually performing the update within the expression engine webui gives?  I want to make sure that before I decide to take this shortcut I’m not setting myself up for disaster later on down the line 😊  Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Cheers,
    -Derek
