    Question:
    Full or Partial Production Database Copy
    Answer:

    Another question for you guys.  I'd like to experiment with some changes on an exsiting "production" database.

    Is there a way to make a copy of an existing database?  Data, structure, views, etc?  Or any combination?  I think that would be really helpful.  I could download and re-upload the data, but I'd lose the views, etc.

    Thanks,
    Jason

      You can copy a database and choose whether to copy the setup, the permissions, the views, the distribution schedules, and/or the fields themselves.  To do this go to the edit database screen and you will find a "copy database" link in the upper right corner

      That's great Matt.  I don't know how I missed that!  Thanks for the quick reply.
