Is there a way to export / import(restore) database.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue asks for database export/import functionality. Review the 6 comments for any suggested approaches or maintainer input. Investigate WatermelonDB's internal SQLite adapter (e.g., files in src/adapters/) to understand how to expose raw database operations. Consider using SQLite's backup API or implementing serialization to JSON. Also explore React Native's file system for writing files. No existing PRs are linked, so the feature is unaddressed.
