# Staging Sync Checklist (MySQL)

This is the exact, minimal checklist to sync **live SQL → staging MySQL**.

## 1) Point app to MySQL

Edit `.env` (or set in Coolify ENV):

```
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=YOUR_MYSQL_HOST
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DB
DB_USERNAME=YOUR_USER
DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASS
```

## 2) Run migrations + import (inside Coolify app container)

```bash
cd /var/www/html
php artisan migrate
php artisan dewemoji:import-live-sql /var/www/html/dewemojiAPI_DB.sql --truncate
```

If your SQL file is elsewhere, locate it first:

```bash
find / -name "dewemojiAPI_DB.sql" 2>/dev/null
```

## 3) Quick sanity checks

```bash
php artisan tinker --execute="echo DB::table('emojis')->count().PHP_EOL;"
php artisan tinker --execute="echo DB::table('emoji_keywords')->count().PHP_EOL;"
```

Expected: `emojis` ~ 2131, `emoji_keywords` ~ 13420.

## Notes

- Live `users` + `sessions` are imported into `legacy_users` + `legacy_sessions`.
- Licenses/activations/usage logs are imported into current tables for parity.
