how to save data

  • Could someone point me in the right direction? I have a database that was created for an application a few months ago, started using it, it's great but now we are adding to it, changing the tables swapping columns. Where can I go look and find out how to save the data we already have, and convert to this new set of tables.

    Sorry if this is a no brainier question, but I am fairly new to SQL and databases. 🙂 thanks in advance

  • Normally you would have at least a development environment and a production environment and when you have tested all your changes you load the production data into the development database and then move the development database to production. Having taken a full backup of the old database first.

  • yes i do have that set up
