Is there a way to duplicate my database? I'm trying to find a way to work on my project with more developers, and I guess it'd be wise to organize things in sort of a test-stage-production street, with a test version that anyone can mess around with, even when my app is in production.
I'm also thinking of sharing my app as a plugin, sometime in the future, but that would only be a good way of working if the receiver could build up their own database without a sixty step manual.

Duplicating the app is no problem when publishing it.

I can export, and then import the database. That's sort of complicated, where I have to do this one table after the other. But the real problem is updating the users data. I can't find a way to build this from a export file, or am I mistaken?

And if you're keeping any kind of roadmap client request list: I guess cooperation and sharing options would grow if there'd be a way to share a plugin with creating a database duplicate on the fly.

Hi Edwin,

You can import collections to Appery.io:
Databases - choose Database - Import a collection

Or are you looking for something else?

Thanx, I figured it out, but was unable to find this posting back before you replied. New messages strangely don't appear on my getsatisfaction dashboard.

I couldn't find a way to import users, exactly because it doesn't work the way you point out above. But there's a nice little button in the usersdata interface, that I overlooked. So I'm fine.

Still for a long term feature request: I guess it would be nice if I could distribute a plugin, that creates it's own database when installing.

Hello! Thank you for idea!
