Description
The plugin could support migrating from SQLite to MySQL and the other way around. It would:
- Help ship SQLite support in WordPress core
- Encourage people worried about staying locked in SQLite
- Help move the sites around
Technically, there's a streaming Data Liberation part to it where we track progress, handle deltas etc. Maybe it's a site sync within one site? Regardless of the implementation, the SQLite plugin could ship the UI.

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the plugin's existing UI and database integration entry points, then examine the linked zs-sync project and the proposed Data Liberation approach. Done would mean a defined migration flow between SQLite and MySQL that handles progress and deltas and exposes the required UI.
