Tables in phpBB are interconnected meaning data in one table is related to another. Any manual updates to the database need to take this into account. It's strongly suggested you do not manually edit anything in the database unless you know exactly what you are doing.
I am thinking of, for instance, searching for all a particular user's posts and then shifting them to some other forum or topic.
Click the username on any post and on their profile page select administer user which will open the main page for their account in the ACP. Down the bottom under basic tools select move all posts. Be aware if the user has many posts this action can timeout. Makes sure to backup database beforehand.

If you want more options beyond that create a private empty forum to move them too. Then you can use the moderator tools to merge/move/delete selected topics/posts in bulk.
