What is the best way to import data using Yii2?

Question

Yii

Hello! The situation is this - from a dump of another database, I need to load information from several tables into my database. Is it better to do it as a migration or call the import method via the console? there are probably other options, I will be glad if you advise how best to implement this

Answer 1

In my opinion, if your database structure changes at the same time, then you can combine it with migration. If the data is simply transferred, then do a console command.

Answer 2

Be careful with these plugins. For the most part, they mess up a lot on devices, so be sure to thoroughly test both in emulators and on devices.
Of the ready-made solutions, mmenu.frebsite.nl works decently.
