[web2py] creation of testing database

[Vidul]

I'd like to create a testing database which contains the same tables
as the production one.
This is the code I came up with:

for i in db_test.tables:
    db_test[i].drop()
db_test.commit()

for i in db.tables:
    db_test.define_table(i, db[i])
db_test.commit()

Is there a better way?

Thank you for the help.
