I thin that method doesnt work for me, let me explain better what i want to 
do:

6 months ago i released a production APP, now we will launch the second 
version of this app and there are several (big) differences between the 
database structure in production and the one i will deploy now, but i dont 
want to lose all the data collected in production, so what i want to do can 
be resumed in 3 steps:

1. Get all the information from the production database with the OLD 
structure
2. Format this information to the NEW structure (some fields will be 
deleted, other will be added... there are several changes)
3. Insert this data in the NEW structure database.

Also, this app is created with a microservices architecture which means 
that i dont have only one database, instead i've 14 database that have 
cross data between them (i mean, the id stored for a user in the users 
database are also used in several other databases as reference to the user)

So because this if i change the ids i will need to make a big coherence 
check around my 14 databases, with (approximately) 10 tables each one, this 
is a big deal as you can see.

Thanks a lot for the help and i hope you can keep helping me.
