I want to have a separate dev and live database for my next umbraco project.
I have ran through the initial set-up and pointed the site to my dev db so that has now been created.
Is it safe enough to just to copy the dev db in Azure, give it a new name and just change the connection string in the web.config, or is there anything in the initial db setup that gets generated in the tables that would be unique to that db? I see there are some tables with data after set-up, so I'm not sure if just copying the db is the right thing to do.
You can just take generate a backup of dev environment and restore into azure or in the live env database just change the connection string in web.config.

Hello Damion,
You can just take generate a backup of dev environment and restore into azure or in the live env database just change the connection string in web.config.
