 - Each SQL session (CLI `dolt sql`, MySQL client, application connection) maintains its own active branch. Run `CALL dolt_checkout('<branch>');` at the beginning of every session or scripted block to ensure you are on the correct branch.
 - Chain branch changes inside scripts: start with `CALL dolt_checkout('<branch>');`, then run your queries. Do not assume a previous checkout persists for new connections.
 - When automating, include the checkout in the same transaction / session context where the data changes execute.
+- A good way to make sure a `dolt sql` session connects to the br1 branch for instance is `dolt --branch br1 sql`.
