  • It doesn’t; it happens the other way around. The post_name field contains thats-the-way. When the post is first created, the title is run through sanitize_title() to create thats-the-way, which is then put in post_name. When querying the database, the supplied title in run through sanitize_title() and compared against post_name. We never really query against post_title. Instead, we query against the sanitized title in post_name.
