Our rails db includes our own tables/schema and the Salesforce/Heroku Connect schema (under "salesforce.*"). We place this file in config/initializers/schema_dumper.rb and now our rails db:schema:dump includes both our own tables and the salesforce. tables.

schema_dumper.rb

    @connection.schema_search_path.split(",").each do |name|
      stream.puts %(  connection.execute "CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS #{name}")
    end
    stream.puts ""
    stream.puts %(  connection.schema_search_path = #{@connection.schema_search_path.inspect})
    stream.puts ""
  end

  # Overridden in order to build a list of tables with their schema prefix
  # (rest of the method is the same).
  def tables(stream)
    table_query = <<-SQL
          SELECT schemaname, tablename
          FROM pg_tables
          WHERE schemaname = ANY(current_schemas(false))
    SQL

    sorted_tables = @connection.exec_query(table_query, "SCHEMA").map do |table|
      "#{table["schemaname"]}.#{table["tablename"]}"
    end.sort

    sorted_tables.each do |table_name|
      table(table_name, stream) unless ignored?(table_name)
    end

    if @connection.supports_foreign_keys?
      sorted_tables.each do |tbl|
        foreign_keys(tbl, stream) unless ignored?(tbl)
      end
    end
  end

  # We do not want the auto-generated default for salesforce.* tables
  # For our own UUID tables we generate the ID with:
  #   default: -> { "uuid_generate_v4()" }
  # And the salesforce tables were producing the following default but not providing the sequence:
  #   default: -> { "nextval('contact_id_seq'::regclass)" }
  #
  # So, if the default contains `nextval` then we remove it from our schema.rb.
  #
  # Hopefully this doesn't bite us one day.
  def column_spec_for_primary_key(column)
    spec = super
    spec.delete(:default) if /nextval/.match?(spec[:default])
    spec
  end
end

This helped me alot! Thanks!

I also had to remove the nextval from some tables. In my case, we're using gem 'auditedand theidof the table usesbigint` (don't know why).
