Answer 1

This worked for me to copy a table remotely from my localhost to Heroku's postgresql:

pg_dump -C -t source_table -h localhost source_db | psql -h destination_host -U destination_user -p destination_port destination_db

This creates the table for you.

For the other direction (from Heroku to local) pg_dump -C -t source_table -h source_host -U source_user -p source_port source_db | psql -h localhost destination_db
