Hi All!

We are getting pretty heavy on LS and the idea of setting up a dev environment to test upcoming releases (and plugins, etc.) is sorts of forcing itslef to us... :whistle:

Question is: as anybody here worked on facilitating the replication of prod data towards the dev data so as to keep it as close as the prod as possible?

Cheers!

Never do this, but a cron to
- Remove dev DB
- Copy prod db to dev db

Can be done.

Dev system update dev db if needed.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for the prompt reply: I'm not sure what you're suggestion is though:

To simply overwrite the dev DB with prod DB to update it?
Or NOT to do that?

Cheers!

No,

You can without any problem COPY the prod DB to the dev DB.

BUT : never use same DB for prod and dev : dev can update DB.

PS: i say : i never do this personnaly, but i'm sure it's OK.

Ah ok I got it, definitely, yes!
When saying same, I meant an exact replication of the Prod DB - wouldn't have though it would be as easy as overwriting Dev with Prod occasionally - so good with me

Thanks for that
