# Using the `--exlude-table-data` argument for the `heroku pg:pull` command doesn't seem to be working. | |
# Instead we're going to copy the Heroku PG database by using the Postgres `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` commands. | |
# Get the "Connection info string" for myapp | |
heroku pg:credentials:url DATABASE_URL -a myapp | |
# Download the database, excluding the `visits` and `ahoy_events` table data. | |
pg_dump "<PASTE_CONNECTION_INFO_STRING_HERE>" --exclude-table-data visits --exclude-table-data ahoy_events -O -x -Fc -f without_vists_and_ahoy_events.out -v | |
# In myapp, setup an empty database | |
bin/rails db:drop && bin/rails db:create | |
# Finally, restore the dump | |
pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -d myapp without_vists_and_ahoy_events.out |
Actually its working for the moment

heroku pg:pull DATABASE_URL <local_db_name> --exclude-table-data="table1;table2;etc" --app <APP>
