Heroku: can I recover database after removing the add-on?


I prematurely removed the Heroku Postgres Hobby Basic add-on from my account which housed a database I was using (I removed it via the dashboard). Is there any way to recover this database? I tried to add the add-on again but it was a fresh database.

Thanks for any help!


Solution

  • So after talking with Heroku, I actually getting my database back. I had looked through the log files and found this command had been run:

    $ Detach HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR
    

    Apparently the database wasn't actually removed/deleted but just disconnected from my account. They were able to locate it again and reattach it under a new name. Dudes were awesome :)
