The worst thing that can ever happen when you test in production is
that you will screw up, destroy all your data, be unable to recover,
and get fired.  If that risk is acceptable to you, then try it in
production first.  Why you need to have a replica of your database,
however, if you feel that relaxed about the value of your data is a
little beyond me.
