Question

I’m trying to do a db:push to Heroku, but am getting this error:

!!! Caught Server Exception
HTTP CODE: 500
Taps Server Error: PGError: ERROR:  column "is_required" is of type boolean but expression is of type integer

                                                             ^
HINT:  You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.

I’m pushing from my local database (which is sqlite) to Heroku’s PostgreSQL database.

The is_required column is set as a boolean using t.boolean "is_required", :default => false.

Not sure what to do here.

Answer 1

Playing around in pgAdmin; it looks like postgres prefers the defaults in the form of 't' or 'f'. I don’t have a ruby install to try it on, though.
