As per title I need to import, but PG backups is giving me strict Postgres SQL that doesn’t work with MySQL, also with a non-specified encoding that I guess is UTF-16. Using db:pull takes ages and errors before finishing.
I’d appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.
Set up PostgreSQL locally, use PG backups to copy the data from Heroku to your local machine, then
pg_restoreto import it into your new local PostgreSQL. Then you can copy it from PostgreSQL to MySQL or SQLite locally without having to worry about timeouts. Or, since you’d have a functional PostgreSQL installation after that, just start developing on top of PostgreSQL so that your development stack better matches your deployment stack; developing and deploying on the same database is a good idea.You’re probably getting binary dumps (i.e.
pg_dump -Fc) from Heroku, that would explain why the dump looks like some sort of UTF-16 nonsense.You can use the pgbackups addon to export the database dump
