I found this blog entry which guides you to do these steps:

1. Create a dump of the PostgreSQL database.

   ssh -C username@hostname.com pg_dump --data-only --inserts YOUR_DB_NAME > dump.sql
   

2. Remove/modify the dump.

   1. Remove the lines starting with SET
   2. Remove the lines starting with SELECT pg_catalog.setval
   3. Replace true for ‘t’
   4. Replace false for ‘f’

3. Add BEGIN; as first line and END; as last line

4. Recreate an empty development database. bundle exec rake db:migrate

5. Import the dump.

   sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3
   sqlite> delete from schema_migrations;
   sqlite> .read dump.sql
   

Of course connecting via ssh and creating a new db using rake are optional
