How do I force EE_Config in wp_options table to re-generate?

I am working on a site that has multiple environments – local, dev and production. I am trying to update the site’s URLs to work with one of the publicly available instances (I typically use backupbuddy’s search/replace). For some reason while trying to perform the find and replace, it wasn’t replacing URLs in the ee_config option within wp_options table. I did a MySQL search and replace instead, knowing that it wouldn’t change the serialization count, but I wanted to see how EE would handle it. Basically it just errors out and doesn’t get the options it needs to go past the ticket selection page.

I am wanting to know how to change the URLs in this table, or know that if I were to flush this option from that table that it would re-generate itself.

I fixed this by deleting the entry in the table and then re-setting all my admin options again… seems like a pretty rough way of fixing something that should be automatically handled, or at least have the URLs update when going back in the the general settings and saving. Let me know if I am going about this incorrectly.

WP Migrate DB does a nice job with changing URLs and file paths within serialized data stored in the options table.
