Multiple Databases

[kris1]

I have a Heidi question if anyone could be so kind...

I have my server running, and I play on it. But I want to start modifying a DB for how i want the server to be in the future.

Is there a way for me to have a separate DB, like a test server, so you don't screw up the one your playing on?

Is there a way to restart your server with the "test DB" to see how you are doing, without losing your old DB that you are playing on?

And lastly, is there a way to add only parts of your test DB without completely replacing everything?

Every time i try, I end up losing my characters and have to use a back up to restore.

Thanks in advance.
