                How to copy production database on AWS RDS(postgresql) to local development database.
              
          
Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.

Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.


Make a copy of the database using pg_dump

$ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
you will be asked for postgressql password.
a dump file(.sql) will be created


Restore that dump file to your local database.

but you might need to drop the database and create it first
$ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>


the database is restored
