 * Here is the process I believe is required:
    1. Copy the DB from production to dev.
    2. Begin enhancements, and/or bug fixes.
    3. Test.
    4. Release – extra work is needed here:
 *  - Freeze the production DB for as short a period as possible (i.e. seconds)
    - Copy the production DB to staging.
    - Merge changes from the Dev DB into staging.
    - OPT: It might make sense to do a sanity test here.
    - Copy the staging DB to production.
    - Unfreeze the production DB.
    - NOTE: this assumes the code is also released to production.
 *  - Finally, runs some test on the new production system.
