I had asked an earlier question which did not get any replies.
Basically I get an error invalid database url
when I try to do heroku db:push
.
I figured I can try explicitly providing the database url.
I tried:
heroku db:push postgres://postgres@localhost/myrailsdb
But that gave error:
Failed to connect to database:
Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError -> PGError fe_sendauth: no password supplied
What is the format for providing username and password?
Try heroku db:push postgres://username:password@localhost/myrailsdb
.
Here's how to do it in a Ruby script:
# Connect to database.
uri = URI.parse(ENV['DATABASE_URL'])
postgres = PG.connect(uri.hostname, uri.port, nil, nil, uri.path[1..-1], uri.user, uri.password)
# List all tables.
tables = postgres.exec('SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables')
tables.num_tuples.times do |i|
p tables[i]
end
Edit your postgresql configuration (pg_hba.conf) file and change 'host' type method to 'trust'. But be aware that this is not secure.
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
Restart your postgresql server and re-run the command
$ heroku db:push postgres://postgres@localhost/myrailsdb
Here is the reference to my answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7667344/181677
according to documentation
postgresql://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]
examples
postgresql://
postgresql://localhost
postgresql://localhost:5432
postgresql://localhost/mydb
postgresql://user@localhost
postgresql://user:secret@localhost
postgresql://other@localhost/otherdb?connect_timeout=10&application_name=myapp
postgresql://localhost/mydb?user=other&password=secret
Heroku cli has changed the command.
heroku pg:push postgres://username:password@localhost/myrailsdb
