Heroku Problem During Database Pull of Rails App: Mysql::Error MySQL server has gone away
- by Rich Apodaca
Attempting to pull my database from Heroku gives an error partway through the process (below).
Using: Snow Leopard; heroku-1.8.2; taps-0.2.26; rails-2.3.5; mysql-5.1.42. Database is smallish, as you can see from the error message.
Heroku tech support says it's a problem on my system, but offers nothing in the way of how to solve it.
I've seen the issue reported before - for example here. How can I get around this problem?
The error:
$ heroku db:pull
Auto-detected local database: mysql://[...]@localhost/[...]?encoding=utf8
Receiving schema
Receiving data
17 tables, 9,609 records
