+# Transfer data from SQLite to Postgres database
+
+1. \* Decrypt SQLite database if it is encrypted.
+
+   ```sh
+   sqlcipher encrypted_simplex_v1_agent.db
+   ```
+
+   ```sql
+   PRAGMA key = 'password';
+   ATTACH DATABASE 'simplex_v1_agent.db' AS plaintext KEY '';
+   SELECT sqlcipher_export('plaintext');
+   DETACH DATABASE plaintext;
+   ```
+
+   Repeat for `simplex_v1_chat.db`.
+
+2. Prepare Postgres database.
+
+   Build `simplex-chat` executable with `client_postgres` flag and run it to initialize new Postgres chat database.
+
+   This should create `simplex_v1` database with `simplex_v1_agent_schema` and `simplex_v1_chat_schema` schemas, and `migrations` tables populated. Some tables would have initialization data - it will be truncated via pgloader command in next step.
+
+3. Load data from decrypted SQLite databases to Postgres database via pgloader.
+
+   Install pgloader and add it to PATH.
+
+   ```sh
+   SQLITE_DBPATH='simplex_v1_agent.db' POSTGRES_CONN='postgres://simplex@/simplex_v1' POSTGRES_SCHEMA='simplex_v1_agent_schema' pgloader --on-error-stop sqlite.load
+
+   SQLITE_DBPATH='simplex_v1_chat.db' POSTGRES_CONN='postgres://simplex@/simplex_v1' POSTGRES_SCHEMA='simplex_v1_chat_schema' pgloader --on-error-stop sqlite.load
+   ```
+
+4. Update sequences for Postgres tables.
+
+   ```sql
+   DO $$
+   DECLARE
+      rec RECORD;
+   BEGIN
+      EXECUTE 'SET SEARCH_PATH TO simplex_v1_agent_schema';
+
+      FOR rec IN
+         SELECT
+            table_name,
+            column_name,
+            pg_get_serial_sequence(table_name, column_name) AS seq_name
+         FROM
+            information_schema.columns
+         WHERE
+            table_schema = 'simplex_v1_agent_schema'
+            AND identity_generation = 'ALWAYS'
+      LOOP
+         EXECUTE format(
+            'SELECT setval(%L, (SELECT MAX(%I) FROM %I))',
+            rec.seq_name, rec.column_name, rec.table_name
+         );
+      END LOOP;
+   END $$;
+   ```
+
+   Repeat for `simplex_v1_chat_schema`.
+
+5. Compare number of rows between Postgres and SQLite tables.
+
+   To check number of rows for all tables in Postgres database schema run:
+
+   ```sql
+   WITH tbl AS (
+      SELECT table_schema, table_name
+      FROM information_schema.Tables
+      WHERE table_name NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
+        AND table_schema IN ('simplex_v1_agent_schema')
+   )
+   SELECT
+      table_schema AS schema_name,
+      table_name,
+      (xpath('/row/c/text()', query_to_xml(
+         format('SELECT count(*) AS c FROM %I.%I', table_schema, table_name), false, true, ''
+      )))[1]::text::int AS records_count
+   FROM tbl
+   ORDER BY records_count DESC;
+   ```
+
+   Repeat for `simplex_v1_chat_schema`.
