How to empty DB in
herokuhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/4820549/how-to-empty-db-in-heroku

I have a Postgres database on Heroku. It is one of the free beta ones.
Locally, when testing, I often run rake db:drop && rake db:create &&
rake
db:migrate as a way to reset the database.
However, when I try to run this on Heroku, I get the
error:[code]Couldn’t
drop mydatabaseid :
#<PG::Error: FATAL: permission denied for database “postgres” DETAIL:
User
does not have CONNECT privilege.
[/code]Uh, ok, so how am I supposed to completely reset my database,
migrations and everything?

Googe found this as the second hit

I don’t know what pg:reset does on heroku so this may not be relevant
but generally it is better to use rake:schema:load rather than create
followed by running all the migrations.
