A test database is a temporary database that you create
when developing a new schema or a new version of an existing schema.
You then create a test configuration that uses the test database to
verify that the new schema performs as expected, without risking damage
to production data. Note that you can set up your test configuration
to test your schema against multiple test databases.
About this task
The procedure for creating a test database is the similar
to the procedure for creating a user database.

Results
You are ready to check out the schema and modify
it. When you are ready to test your changes to the schema, you will
create a test configuration that uses this test database and then
run the test configuration. For more information, see To set the test database for a schema.
