New design, problem with mysql database

    I don’t even know how to ask the question…
    So – I am making a new design for my webpage, that has hundreds of posts and thousands of comments, photos…. I am making the new page on a new subdomain. I copied the wordpress files to the new subdomain and also the mysql database. In the time that I will be making the new design there will be a lot of changes on my current page, so I don’t really know how I will make the transition back.
    I will also be making a lot of new pages, so there won’t only be new look but also new content on the new page… Is there a way to merge the two databases? Or?

    You cannot merge two WP databases. Have you reviewed Moving_WordPress?

    Hi!
    I don’t think that Moving Worpress post addresses my problem…

    The problem is, that I will have to webpages simultaneously – the old one and the new one. I will be working on the design of the latter, while the former will be online and getting new material (posts/comments) every day. So, when I will finish the design of the new page, the databases will be very different, so I will not be able to transfer bach easily…
    Or is there another way?
    Can one use one database for two different (although very similar) webpages?
    Or, synchronise the databases so they are the same? I wanted to try Database sync, because it looked like a solution to my problem, but it causes fatal error on activation, I do not know why..
