How to view current database schema for Heroku app in Terminal?

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You can use rateaux:

rake db:view:schema

Answer 3

For a rails schema, try:

$ heroku run "bundle exec rake db:schema:dump && cat db/schema.rb"
