Postgres copy Heroku Production DB to local development DB

Question

I have a heroku database, d76mj7ltuqs.

I then have a local database, test_development.

The schema is the same on both of these data

Answer 1

Use heroku's "pg:pull":

You'll need to clear your local DB:

rake db:drop

Then collect some information from Heroku:

heroku pg:pull DATABASE_URL test_development

This will connect to the heroku DB, and copy it to the local database.

See Heroku's documentation on pg:pull for more details.
