Development, Test, and Production Databases

If you have two databases with identical structure, you can make changes in one database and propagate those changes to the other.  For example, if you have a personal development database and a group-wide test database, you can modify the development database, then propagate those changes to the test database.  To accomplish this:

  • You can perform all the modifications in a single session with the development database, save an SQL script file of your session and later run the script on the test database.  For more information, see Saving a Change Script.
