How to use db:pull

Answer 1

First, you need to fix your connection string: use postgres instead of postgresql.

You will need to have the pg db adapter installed to use Sequel's postgresql adapter:

gem install pg

You may also want to make sure your taps, sequel, and heroku gems are up to date:

gem install heroku taps sequel

Then try your heroku db:pull again. If that doesn't work, post a comment or hop in #heroku on Freenode and we can try to help.

Answer 2

Your connection string is wrong. Try:

heroku db:pull postgres://root:@localhost/db_name

Answer 3

Started working fine once I upgraded the "pg" gem from version "0.11.0" to "0.12.2".
