copy database locally

Hi all,

I'd like to make a mirror of our production database, but on the same server, in the same partition. Can I use cpdb to do this? I get "address already in use" when I try it cpdb -d /existing /new.

Also, reading comments from Kai and John, does this copy have to be done at a time when there could be no table updating going on? Or does cpdb handle that?

Thanks guys.

Tom

Thanks John. That's what I was hoping, that cpdb would take care of the locking issue.
