How to view current database schema for Heroku app in Terminal?
heroku, ruby-on-rails, schema, terminal
Solution
You could run `heroku pg:psql` to fire up a Postgres console, then issue `\d` to see all tables, and `\d tablename` to see details for a particular table.
Problem
I am trying to view my Heroku app's schema in Terminal (Mac OS X Lion) and stumbled upon a command that does just that. In Terminal, I run `heroku run more db/schema.rb` but it seems to display an older schema version. I just migrated the Heroku db and I noticed that none of the new columns are listed. I can't seem to find anything helpful in Heroku's documentation. Does anyone know a command to view the current database schema for a Heroku app? By the way, I inherited the code for the app and for some reason all of the migration files are commented out (there are probably 40+ files) so I can't just run `rake db:migrate` locally to update the schema; hence, I'd like to see the Heroku app's schema directly. Any suggestions?
