This tutorial explains the how to backup and restore the MySQL Database. Databases are used to store large amount of precious data and it becomes very important to Backup your data. In case case of some hardware or software failures  backup data can be used to restore the Database. Backing Up MySQL Database MySQL database backup can be accomplished in two ways: a) Copying the raw mysql database files & b) Exporting tables to text files Copying the MySQL database files MySQL uses the same table format on different platforms, so it's possible to copy MySQL table and index files from one platform and use them on another without any difficulties (assuming, of course, that you're using the same version of MySQL on both platforms). Exporting tables to text files The MySQLDump is handy utility that can be used to quickly backup th...

You need a javascript engine for rails 3.1 (heroku doesn't have one), and it appears that the javascript engine that works with Heroku is the rubyracer for heroku . Rails uses execjs to execute javascript and execjs supports 7 javascript engines. Node.js is one, and rubyracer is one. Gerred Dillon had a similar problem and wrote about it. In the comment section a point was raised about making this a production only change, since you already have nodejs as your local javascript engine. So the relevant code is: group : production do   gem 'therubyracer-heroku' , '0.8.1.pre3' end UPDATE: Heroku has a new stack, called Cedar , that they recommend for Rails 3.1.0. Heroku also has a doc about upgrading to Rails 3.1.0 rc5. They recommend not using 'therubyracer-heroku' gem anymore as it's not necessary with rc5. Also, make sure to update your config/application.rb file if yo...

Active Record Migrations Migrations can manage the evolution of a schema used by several physical databases. It’s a solution to the common problem of adding a field to make a new feature work in your local database, but being unsure of how to push that change to other developers and to the production server. With migrations, you can describe the transformations in self-contained classes that can be checked into version control systems and executed against another database that might be one, two, or five versions behind. Example of a simple migration: class AddSsl < ActiveRecord::Migration def up add_column : accounts , : ssl_enabled , : boolean , : default => 1 end def down remove_column : accounts , : ssl_enabled end end This migration will add a boolean flag to the accounts table and remove it ...
