What is Redgate Clone?

Redgate Clone makes it easy to create disposable copies of SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases for development and test. The database copies are hosted in a centralized environment so you don't need database servers installed locally.

You can create, save and destroy your databases as often as you like, even spinning up multiple copies for different branches and CI pipelines. It uses a command line interface, making it simple to script and automate in DevOps pipelines.

It's an integral component of Redgate Test Data Manager GUI , responsible for creating its images (data images in Redgate Clone nomenclature) and clones (data containers in Redgate Clone nomenclature).

You can also use Redgate Clone as a standalone product. Please check its official documentation.
