When you were talking about databases not having the same credentials on live and dev versions, why not just create database and user on live first then re-use the same credentials on dev? Then you should be able to take a dump of live and import into dev easily.

I’m going backwards through each show as I work, listening to about 2 shows a day.

On the dilemma Trello vs Basecamp I choose Comidor for sure! comidor.com
