# Run SQL Against Remote Postgres Database
|
|
|
|
You can access a remote Heroku PostgreSQL database through a `psql` session
|
|
using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
heroku pg:psql --app my-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That opens an interactive psql session.
|
|
|
|
If instead you'd like to run a single SQL script against that remote database,
|
|
you can redirect that script to the connection.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
heroku pg:psql --app my-app < query.sql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The results of running that SQL will be written to stdout.
|
|
|
|
You can take this a step further by redirecting the output into another file so
|
|
that you can review and search the results at your convenience, rather than
|
|
only having them appear in your terminal.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
heroku pg:psql --app my-app < query.sql > results.out
|
|
```
