When using the psql
command line utility on my local machine, I have the option to use the -q
or --quiet
switch to tell Postgres to do it's work quietly - i.e. it won't print every single INSERT
statement to the console if you're doing a large import.
Here's an example of how I'm using it:
psql -q -d <SOME_DATABASE> -f <SOME_SQL_FILE>
However, when using the pg:psql
command line utility in Heroku, that option doesn't seem to be available. So I'm currently having to use it like so:
heroku pg:psql DATABASE -a <SOME_HEROKU_APP> < <SOME_SQL_FILE>
which produces a lot of output to my console (hundreds of thousands of lines), because of the large size of the SQL file I'm importing. Whenever I try to use the -q
or --quiet
option, something like this:
heroku pg:psql DATABASE -q -a <SOME_HEROKU_APP> < <SOME_SQL_FILE>
it'll throw an error saying that -q
is not a valid option.
Is there some way to enable quiet mode when running Postgres commands in Heroku?
