| 1) Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it. | |
| Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres. | |
| 2) Make a copy of the database using pg_dump | |
| $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database> | |
| you will be asked for postgressql password. | |
| a dump file(.sql) will be created | |
| 3) restore that dump file to your local database. | |
| but you might need to drop the database and create it first | |
| $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore> |
