Cloning a local database

You can create a new local database as a clone of an existing local database. For example, you might want a similar set of data that uses international names and addresses.

You cannot clone a database connection.

You can add the new database to any project in any workspace that you have edit access to.

To clone a database:

1. In the project database list, hover over the database name.

2. Click the copy icon.

3. On the Clone Database panel:

   1. In the New Database Name field, provide the name for the new database.

   2. From the Workspace dropdown list, select the workspace that contains the project to add the new database to.

   3. From the Project dropdown list, select the project to add the new database to.
