Hi Bob, At the LCB, we've been running two or more parallel versions of BASE 2.x for ages, but only as far as BASE itself is concered. We DO have data export going on between two live 1.2.x installations, but this is due more to hardware constraints than added functionality, so the concept was scrapped for BASE 2.x.
We've never felt the need to make DATA part of the dev/release cycle, nor for a data release concept in general. It would certainly be interesting to hear your motivation for wanting to doing this though! best, /Emil > Hi all, > > Has anyone got a pre-release or development server running in > parallel with a > 'live' server? > > We would like to have dev, pre and live servers, and make data live > on some > kind of release cycle.
