Steps to Clone a Database

Data subsettting decreases storage requirements and increases IT productivity by reducing the overall size of the final database clone. Database Administrators and Developers can select sets of transactions or application modules and remove the data through deletion or truncation, or use the more efficient Insert Method for database cloning.

Database cloning creates a database template and restores or inserts only the transactions or modules needed. The Insert Method for database cloning allows IT organizations to create subsets much faster as only the data needed for the test is cloned, resulting in a faster cloning process and reduced storage requirement. Whichever subset method is used, referential integrity is maintained.
