To create a duplicate database for your customer, you can follow these steps:
1. Export your existing database: Access phpMyAdmin, select the database you wish to duplicate, and export it. This will generate an SQL dump of your database.
2. Create a new database for your customer (On your server): In phpMyAdmin, click the 'New' option in the left sidebar to create a new database. Enter a name for the database and click the 'Create' button.
3. Import the database dump: Select the new database, navigate to the 'Import' tab, and upload the SQL dump file that you exported in step 1. This will recreate the database structure.
4. Remove unwanted records: To remove unwanted records in specific tables such as users, access levels, or custom tables, you can delete them using SQL queries. For example, to remove certain users or access levels, you can run the following queries on the new database:
Code: Select all
DELETE FROM zzzzsys_user;
DELETE FROM zzzzsys_access;
DELETE FROM zzzzsys_access_form;
DELETE FROM zzzzsys_access_php;
DELETE FROM zzzzsys_access_report;
Of course, you will need to run the queries on the newly created database. Please make sure to delete the records of the tables you created as well.
5. Export the new database again.
6. On your customer's server, create a new database.
7. Import the SQL dump file into the new database.
To maintain and update the two solutions without duplicating the work, you can use the cloner to clone or update specific forms. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask for further directions.
Note that synchronizing data between two databases on different servers can be more complex and time-consuming than synchronizing data between two databases on the same server.
