Silly question about importing

[Gill]

Eeew. For most of you this will be such a silly question, but if I don't ask, I don't learn!! So here goes:

On a test site, if I were to attempt importing the database from my real and active site, would that impact on my real site and prevent it from running. It's currently running vB 3x series. I want to practice the import and see how it works.

Thanks for any responses!

I recommend working with a copy of your database for testing purposes instead of the live database. While unlikely, there is potential for problems.
