I know there was some discussion on this a week or two ago with David. We 
are trying to create a duplicate SQL COLLECTION as a test DB. I know I can't 
save and restore as a new name. So how would I go about copying all of the 
data to the new DB? I have the tables setup, I just need to copy the data. 

My vendor has a utility to do this, but it takes forever. It first creates a 
dump of the DB (about a 17 GB file) onto the IFS, then they have me do an 
import. Problem is this import ran for over 24 hours and wasn't complete 
yet. I let it run over 36 hours before I cancelled it. That is not really 
acceptable timeline for me. Plus you need to basically have three copies of 
the DB on your server at once. That isn't exactly ideal when we have limited 
amount of disk space.

Any ideas on how to do this?
