    Default Import Customers and Orders from the live site to the other I'mupgrading and testing

    I need to import Customers and Orders from my live website into the one I'm using for testing that is already upgraded to 1.3.9h, my live site uses 1.3.8a, so where can I find info on what tables need to be backed up and then imported to the test site?

    As this affects several tables, as there are new orders and new customers I need to add, and I don't want to skip one table that is essential to maintain the structure.

    Suggest that you do not attempt to pick & choose the tables to import

    Follow the upgrade tutorial instead

    Well I did that already the problem is my TEST site has outdated product and orders, my live site is not updated yet ...

    So I am doing all major changes in my test site not in my live one the only difference is the TEST site already upgraded to 1.3.9h and working fine, so far, has OUTDATED tables(products, orders and customers), so that's why I asked which ones I need to pick to UPDATE the test site exactly as the live one.

    I am planning to use the test site as the live one once I complete all tests, and import new info from the old one ... I am not sure if it's safe to keep the live one untouched and then move the TEST one to same folder(in fact rename its folder so the configure files use it instead), and UPDATE tables (related to products, orders and clients), and then rename the old live directory ...

    or upgrade the old, - current live one -, and don't rename anything ...
