Import a Heroku PG dump into local machine

Follow these 4 simple steps in your terminal (Heroku Dev Center): Create a backup copy of your database:

$ heroku pg:backups capture DATABASE_NAME

Download the copy from Heroku (to your local machine) using curl:

$ curl -o latest.dump `heroku pg:backups public-url`

Load it*:

$ pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U YOUR_USERNAME -d DATABASE_NAME latest.dump

get YOUR_USERNAME and choose the desired database from your config/database.yml file. DATABASE_NAME can be your development/test/production db (Ex. mydb_development) That's it!
