You might want to be more specific.

If you mean, can you use one database for development and another for production, then yes this is easy. Make changes in the config.php before or after saving it to the web server.

If you mean can you make changes to the DB: adding tables / columns / whatever, then the answer is generally "Yes, but it will take some work".

When creating the application, I set up the database. With that, I can make changes to the tables through PHPRad. Now I want to modify my database host and continue accessing via PHPRad.

@Euder‍ that is currently not possible in the current release, but the next update would leave room for that.

I have done both of these:
1. Use a name for the DB server and then change it in your HOSTS file or LAN DNS server. This allows you to change servers by changing where the name points. (Using something like HostsFileEditor .)
2. Use an Editor (I may have used a HexEditor) to change a copy of the project file while PHPRad is closed. Always backup before doing this.
