Retrieve Weather Database for further analyze

Heroku Postgres

I wrote the weather app which holds at:
http://python-weather-app.herokuapp.com
At around half a year it grows around 7MB, so I begin to think of how to back it and migrate to other platforms.

Following is the steps for viewing and operation on postgres database:

$ heroku login
$ heroku config
$ heroku addons | grep POSTGRES
$ heroku pg:info

Backup

Install the addons of pgbackups for backing up the existing databases:

$ heroku addons:add pgbackups
$ heroku pgbackups:capture

Use following command for store the backup locally:

$ curl -o latest.dump `heroku pgbackups:url`
$ pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U Trusty -d weatherdb latest.dump

View the data

Using following commands for viewing the data:

$ psql weatherdb
weatherdb=# \dt;
          List of relations
 Schema |    Name     | Type  | Owner 
--------+-------------+-------+-------
 public | avg_weather | table | Trusty
 public | user        | table | Trusty
 public | weather     | table | Trusty
(3 rows)
weatherdb=# select * from weather;
weatherdb=# select * from avg_weather;

By this you could dump all of the datas which already held in this postgres database.
