grippi> run bundle exec rake db:purge to clear the database

<Dante> but basically: mongo : use diaspora-production ; db.users.find() <Dante> db.users.copyDatabase(diaspora-production,backup)

also: use diaspora-development ; db.copyDatabase("diaspora-development","diaspora-development", "backup server IP") (copies the whole database)

how do i configure production environment to use development database?
koo5, you have to just manually hack the code and hardcode in a database name
in like config/initializers/_mongo.rb
you can also just copy over your old diaspora-development database to diaspora-production
aha!
lets see if just enabling caching in dev solves my speed problem..
dont wanna copy...maybe if it is possible to make an alias
not that I know of
if you really want to share the database, just hardcode the name
then make a git commit so git can merge it the next time you "git pull origin master"
(note: speed problem quite sloved, see caching in config/environments/development)

switching between development and production (script/server -e production)(enables caching) without switching databases (my database is empty!): http://pastebin.com/N76JFMed
