Using same db for both livev forumn and dev forum

What are the risks if connecting both a live forum and a developer testforum to the same database? Same invision software version.

I have a huge forum database, so it would be easiest to connect both to same database. If not advisable, please explain why?

 

Thanks in advance!

The short answer to the first question is "It will break". Dont do it.

If you connect both to the same database, its simply not a developer forum, as anything you amend/change will affect both instances. You could end up with files being saved to one location, when they should be saved to another, anything cached on disk will be saved to 2 different locations. And these are just the things I can think of from the top of my head.
