Hi,
I would like to make a major import to Mobile Sheets. In this case , I want to keep this import separate from my regular database. I know Mobilesheets should take care of this no problem, but I do not want to take any chances whatsoever, backups or not. Right now the "Let Mobilesheets manage my files" option is unchecked.
So what are my options?
1- Backup my database, erase everything and start a new database.
2- Would it be possible to just rename the database file and the db_journal file? One would expect in this case that MS would just re-create a new blank database file under the name "mobilesheets.db".
If this works, seems to me it would be quicker.
3- The ideal in this case would be of having the option of opening a second database file in MS. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think this is possible currently in MS. Has someone already asked for a feature such as this? Or am I the only one who thinks this would be desirable?
