    Switching back-end database

    OK, I've made copious changes to the application and I have copied my production back-end database to a different directory and renamed it. How do I connect my application to the renamed database so I can test the app without messing up the production back-end database?

    Personally I like the JStreet Relinker. https://jstreettech.com/developer-downloads/

    I use it to switch between live and test back ends during Dev.
