User issues?

Users Register at my main site, while I'm changing stuff at my development site. Seems that if I restore the newly changed development database to the main site, I'll lose the new users.

If I backup everything on the development site except the Users database, and use "Add Drop Syntax", can I then restore to the main site, without disturbing the users on the main site?

Is there a better way to update the new features without destroying new users?

HI there! Yes, you can do this, just remember that beside the jos_users table, there are the acl tables which need to be excluded also as those control the users group assignment

Make sure you make a backup of your original site before doing these changes!
