The database name argument must be provided with pg:credentials:url command.

Promoting HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_GRAY_URL to DATABASE_URL. $ heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_GRAY_URL -a example-appĮnsuring an alternate alias for existing DATABASE_URL. The promotion process triggers a release and restarts the app. It also creates an alternate attachment for the old primary database, assigned with a new HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_URL config var. Pg:promote updates the value of the DATABASE_URL config var with the newly promoted database’s connection string. Promote a database to be the primary for your app with the heroku pg:promote command. Pg:killall is similar to pg:kill except it cancels or terminates every query on your database. If it fails, use the -force option to issue pg_terminate_backend to drop the entire connection for that query. Without any arguments, pg_cancel_backend is called on the query and it attempts to cancel the query. The procpid column can then be used to cancel or terminate those queries with pg:kill. Procpid | source | running_for | waiting | query The pg:ps command queries the pg_stat_activity view in Postgres to give a concise view into currently running queries. These commands give you view and control over currently running queries. This problem is especially common with Postgres.app users, as the post-install step of adding /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin to $PATH is easy to forget. Pg_restore: input file is too short (read 0, expected 5)Īre both often a result of this incorrect $PATH problem. Pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch Ensure your local Postgres is working and try again.Īnd pg_dump: server version: 12.5 pg_dump version: 10.14

! connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"? ! Is the server running locally and accepting Errors such as ! createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory It’s common, however, for the wrong binaries to be loaded in $PATH. These commands rely on the pg_dump and pg_restore binaries that are included in a Postgres installation. $ PGUSER=postgres PGPASSWORD=password heroku pg:push DATABASE_URL mylocaldb -app example-app Usage of the PGUSER and PGPASSWORD for your local database is also supported for pg:push, just like for the pg:pull command. You’ll be prompted to pg:reset a remote database that isn’t empty. To prevent accidental data overwrites and loss, the remote database must be empty. You can also specify the name of the database add-on you want to push data to: $ heroku pg:push postgresql-animate-91581 mylocaldb -app example-app This command takes the local database mylocaldb and pushes it to the database at DATABASE_URL on the app example-app. The command looks like this: $ heroku pg:push mylocaldb DATABASE_URL -app example-app Pg:push pushes data from a local database into a remote Heroku Postgres database. For example, to pull data from HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED on the app example-app, you could run heroku pg:pull example-app::RED mylocaldb. As with all pg:* commands, you can use shorthand database identifiers here.
