Safety & guardrails

Test your SQL on a throwaway clone

Updated 2026-07-23 · 1 min read

Dry-run a whole SQL file against a disposable copy of your database — data and all — so a risky migration never touches the real thing.

Before you run something risky, hit Test clone. AddisDB provisions a throwaway copy of your database — schema and data — and runs your file against that instead of the real database. Nothing you do touches production, so you can dry-run even against a read-only prod connection.

Let AI fix it until it passes

Choose “Auto-fix until it passes” and the AI runs your file against the clone, repairs whatever fails, and re-runs — looping until the whole thing works. It stays honest about your intent: before it would drop a statement just to make things pass, it stops and asks you.

When you are done

Reset the clone for fresh data, or discard it. The real database is never modified either way.
