How to import db:schema diff into the database in rails?

i know that is should use migrations, just asking. it would be useful/beautiful to be able work on local mysql database adding fields, indexes etc. and then

• schema dump
• git push heroku ...
• heroku db:schema:diff:apply <- !!! without loosing remote data

i know

• can't haddle table/fields rename case
• this is bat babbit

i really like to use great db managers like SQLyog, why can't I? I can't if i hawe to write every change in migration file by hand.

is this possible? is there similar plugin?

ps: i know about this beauty:

this is exactly what I'm looking for. Problem is that it is for old rails, and not suported anym开发者_运维百科ore
