I was initially thinking of having two xml files (test.xml and clean.xml) with appropriate settings in each, and just running cat test.xml > entityengine.xml (or cat clean.xml --whicever one I'm going to run) but will this mean I have to sit for a few minutes after each switch while OFBiz loads? Not sure if this is a better or worse idea than two instances of OFBiz running. Six of one, a half-dozen of the other?

Hi Craig,

Take a look at the data loading tasks in README.md as it shows you
different data loading scenarios for different environments.

You can switch between two databases, but not the way you might recognize
it in Ruby on Rails or so. If the two databases are both embedded (Derby)
then you have to switch their folders manually in between restarts. If they
are standalone like postgres then you have to update entityengine.xml in
between restarts.

I hope that helps, good luck OFBizzing.

Is there a doc somewhere on starting with a fresh DB? I'm still tooling
with the data that comes with a default install, but I'm going to want
another "squeaky clean" DB to be playing with also.

There's nothing saying I can't have two instances of ofbiz running on the
same server is there, or is there a better way to swap back and forth
between the "test" DB that I'm currently running and what will eventually
be my live DB in a hurry?
