I made a website on django and hosted it on heroku. It uses the default sqlite3 database.
When adding some entry on the website, the heroku db is updated. I am unable to pull that entry on my local db.
When I push any changes to the heroku, all those entries that were added from the website are deleted.
How can I pull those entries from heroku?
When you push your changes to Heroku, you are also pushing your SQLite3 database file, which overwrites the changes that were done to it on the Heroku server.
If you want the database to stay the same, dont add it to your commits when you push to Heroku.
As Daniel said, you should just switch to a free Heroku PostgreSQL database instead of using SQLite3. This way you can download the Heroku database onto your local system via backup/restore and any changes you push to Heroku won't overwrite the existing data in the database.
You can find instructions on how to implement Heroku PostgreSQL into your django application here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql#connecting-with-django

I've a very simple Facebook application hosted on Heroku which uses PHP for back-end and SQLite for storage. For some weird reason, the SQLite database gets randomly reset to the last version I pushed. Can someone help me understand the reason behind this?
Heroku has an ephemeral file system that loses any changes each time the dyno restarts, which happens frequently. You should store SQL lite files on amazon or use an Heroku database.
I have a web application written in Python-Flask with database created using MySQL. I have deployed my app using Heroku but it's only the frontend and backend part. I also need to upload database so that the app can interact with the database. I have searched many videos on YouTube but nothing came as useful. Most of them are using Postgre SQL both in local and heroku app but I've an MySQL database with me. I need help how can I connect my app to my database.
Heroku has native support for postgessql not mysql, so you might want to change to that or use the Clear DB addon as explained in the docs.
From heroku
"Heroku provides three managed data services to all customers:
Heroku Postgres, Heroku Redis, Apache Kafka on Heroku"
Also have a look at this previous answer that targets the same issue.
I have deployed an app in Heroku using Django. The Django program uses a SQLite database db.sqlite3 on root directory to populate its page. Separately, there is also a Node.js scraper program that inserts to that database.
The problem is that the hard-refreshed webpage shows the same data even after the content of the database changed. Curiously, this does not happen when it is tested locally with python manage.py runserver. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you in advance!
For reference, here is my requirements.txt file:
Django==1.10.6
gunicorn==19.7.1
Pillow==4.0.0
selenium==3.3.1
whitenoise==3.3.0
You cannot use sqlite on Heroku.
An sqlite db is stored as a file on the local filesystem. But in Heroku the filesystem is ephemeral and is not shared between dynos. Every time you redeploy your app, or scale your process, or in your case launch a worker, you get a new filesystem with a different copy of the db file.
Use the proper Postgres support via the add-ons.
I want to update a field in my users table on my django project hosted on heroku.
Is there a way I can run a script(if so from where?) using what?
That allows me to update a field in the database? I could do this manually in the django admin but it would take way to long as there are large number of users.
Any advice is appreciated.
i suggest you update the data in your local then make a fixture, commit and push it in your heroku. then do load the data using the terminal
update data (locally)
make a fixture (manage.py dumpdata)
commit and push to heroku
login via terminal (heroku login)
load the data (heroku run python manage.py loaddata .json)
After Making a few changes on the code, when i push the entire project using -
git add .
git commit -m "push"
aws push
From my local virtual connection to the aws, my server database is replaced by the local database.
How can i avoid this?
