Thanks John, that's a great suggestion. Unfortunately it's looking like it will take about 7.5 hours to import 3.12M rows:
1 tables, 3,123,800 records companies: 1% | | ETA: 07:25:34 I'm wondering if there's a more expedient route... in the past I've used the postgres COPY command [1] to do bulk imports of large data sets quickly, but that requires that the server be able to read a file off the server's local filesystem. I don't suppose that's feasible given how the Heroku platform works, but would love to be pleasantly surprised :) Anyone from Heroku able to pipe up and offer any other possible suggestions? Just to restate the problem, I have a single table with about 3.12M records that I'm wanting to transfer from a local DB to my remote Heroku DB without touching the other Heroku app data. It's ok if the table gets blown away on the Heroku side as it has nothing in it (new model I just added).
