# Sync Users Manually (via phpmyadmin or adminer)

 * I have a userbase of over 360k users that I need to sync. Every time I hit the
   sync button, it syncs for about 5 minutes and manages to sync about 2.5% of my
   user database before crashing. A few minutes later, my site is back up, so it’s
   mostly fine.
 * The problem is that to sync 100% of my user base, I’d have to do this about 40
   times and that will not only take long, it will also cause downtime and crashes
   every 5 minutes, which I can’t afford.
 * I am comfortable manipulating data via phpmyadmin, so I was wondering if there
   was a way to manually sync users that way.
 * So I guess what I’m asking is: what does syncing users actually do in the backend(
   so I can replicate it myself manually)? Does the syncing involve anything else
   that is not database-related?
