ABSOLUTELY ---- Never do testing/experimentation using your"prod" data. Instead always make a copy and test using that. I strongly suggest you use "test" somewhere in the name of this copy (file) so that no chance you would ever make a mistake whether you were working"test" or "prod". We who did this for a living usually had separate "test"n and "prod" logins (logged in "test", while we might be able to read "prod" data, no write access)

But a few of us development team members did have a "prod" log in for emergency use; say after hours and no production team members present to submit prod jobs for us.
