Do not try to use --fake, because with this you risk corrupting your database.

Instead, you can backup your current database, recreate it, and then apply backup.

1. Create backup: pg_dump -F c -v -h localhost -f tmp/.psql

2. Recreate it: rails db:drop db:create

3. Restore backup: pg_restore --exit-on-error --verbose --dbname= tmp/.psql
