Heroku - Rails 3 to 3.1 migration issues with PostgreSQL: relation "users" does not exist_问答_开发者

I have been following documents on how to move from Rails 3 to 3.1 and make it work on Heroku. I used the manual upgrade technique given here: http://webtempest.com/upgrade-rails-3-to-3-1/

I have made some progress slowly but it has been mostly painful to get it to work with Heroku. My application works fine locally with rails 3.1 at the moment. I should probably let you know that in development mode, I am using mysql (simply because of having the option to use sequel pro and I haven't quite figured out how to use postgres locally yet). Thing is, I have had no issues pushing my app to heroku while in rails 3.0 and using it there with postgres and locally with mysql ever. It has always worked fine. However, now that I have moved to 3.1, using heroku cedar stack, I am running in to the following issue while following heroku docs: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails31_heroku_cedar

Following is the error I keep bumping in to when trying to migrate or reset my application's db after pushing the code to heroku, and also when i restart the application.

Running rake db:reset attached to terminal... up, run.9
Couldn't drop hvifyyqdjs : #<ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERROR:  must be owner of database hvifyyqdjs
: DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS "hvifyyqdjs">
hvifyyqdjs already exists
rake aborted!
PGError: ERROR:  relation "users" does not exist
:             SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod), d.adsrc, a.attnotnull
              FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
                ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
             WHERE a.attrelid = '"users"'::regclass
               AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
             ORDER BY a.attnum

Any ideas as to how to overcome this issue? I am using the devise plugin for the 'users' mentioned here. My research on the issue led me to earlier believe that my migration might have not created the users table properly, however my very first migration file does create the user table

class DeviseCreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table(:users) do |t|
      t.database_authenticatable :null => false
      t.recoverable
      t.rememberable
      t.trackable

      # t.encryptable
      # t.confirmable
      # t.lockable :lock_strategy => :failed_attempts, :unlock_strategy => :both
      # t.token_authenticatable


      t.timestamps
    end

    add_index :users, :email,                :unique => true
    add_index :users, :reset_password_token, :unique => true
    # add_index :users, :confirmation_token,   :unique => true
    # add_index :users, :unlock_token,         :unique => true
    # add_index :users, :authentication_token, :unique => true
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :users
  end
end

when trying to restart the app on heroku, this what i see in the logs

Any help, suggestions or hints will be very appreciated.

I was able to solve this by myself.

One of my initializer files was doing a find_or_create_by_id which worked fine while development, but since I was now deploying on a fresh new application, the absence of tables was the source of that error, and was also blocking the migrate command from running and creating the missing tables.

It had nothing to do with syntax of PostgreSQL.

Look at the first error message: "ERROR: must be owner of database hvifyyqdjs"

You (or your program) are not allowed to drop it.
