Yes, Abhay answered my question. After playing with it a bit, the best I could do is have two wp's configured for the same db/tables and soft linking the top wp dir of the "active" one to the url wp expects. That'll do.

Quoted direct from the config file. So yes you can. Just need to change that value
 
I don't believe that's what Rod was asking. The situation you are describing is multiple blogs on the same database. Rod is asking about two different codebases (1.5.2 and 2Beta2, I'm guessing) on the same database using the same posts, etc. Although I could be wrong, I don't think this would work. The only thing I guess I could suggest is to write a crontab script that takes the database entries (posts and comments) of the day from your live blog and updates it to your experimental blog's database.
 
Did that answer your question?

Is there a way to configure Wordpress to run 2 different code bases off
the same db? Is it safe (particularly wrt schema diffs)?

Goal is that I can leave my 1.5 Wordpress up for public access, and work
with 2.0 svn/nightly myself for test & experiments.

Horde ( www.horde.org) can do this pretty well, though I don't know if
it's officially supported.

Thanks,

Rod
