Here's another way to deal with testing situations: I use a test database with the same name as the real one, and use the DBPATH environment variable to control which one I get. E.g. setenv DBPATH ~/testdir during a testing session. No need to change your code, or rename the database. You just have to be careful: I worry about forgetting which window on my screen is accessing the test database, and which one contains the live data :-( Anyway, hope that's useful. -- Harry Bochner -- bochner@das.harvard.edu
