Heroku Postgres forking databases
A fork of your database is the structure and data copied at a certain point in time. This con-
sists of creating a new database from another. The fork database is not synchronized after
your creation.
The most common use is for analysis and experiments with a copy of the database. You can
also use the fork database to experiment with different versions of database plans. This al-
lows you to test the behavior of the database.
A fork database is a copy of another database, that allows us to read and write.
