Features

Easily copy databases between locations, e.g.:

• Initialize a Heroku database with local data

• Update local development database with the latest data in your Heroku app

• Update one Heroku app (e.g. staging) with the data from another app (e.g. production)

Installation

You can get paragres from PyPI with:

pip install paragres

The development version can be installed with:

pip install -e git://github.com/jessamynsmith/paragres.git#egg=paragres

If you are developing locally, your version can be installed from the working directory with:

python setup.py.install

Usage

Note 1: To use paragres to access a Heroku app, you must be logged into the Heroku account that owns that app.

Note 2: By default, Heroku’s new pg:backups command is used. if you want to use the old pgbackups addon, you must specify –use-pgbackups

Example 1, copying data between Heroku databases:

paragres -s <source_heroku_app_name> -d <destination_heroku_app_name>

Example 2, copying a new backup snapshot of data from a Heroku database to localhost:

paragres -s <heroku_app_name> -c -t path/to/db_settings.py

Example 3, creating a backup snapshot of a Heroku database:

paragres -c -s <heroku_app_name>

db_settings.py must contain at least the following (Django settings file format):

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': '<db_name>',
        'USER': '<username>',
        'PASSWORD': '<password>',
        'HOST': '<host>',
        'PORT': '<port>',
    }
}

Supported transfers:

		Destination
		postgres	Heroku app
Source	local file	X
	postgres	X	X *
	url	X	X
	Heroku app	X	X

* Can only push from a database accessible to the local user, or accessible to a user configured via PG* environment variables

Development

Fork the project on github and git clone your fork, e.g.:

git clone https://github.com/<username>/paragres.git

Create a virtualenv and install dependencies:

mkvirtualenv paragres
pip install -r requirements/package.txt -r requirements/test.txt

Run tests with coverage (should be 100%) and check code style:

coverage run -m nose
coverage report -m
flake8

Verify all supported Python versions:

pip install tox
tox

Install your local copy:

python setup.py install
