A more heroku-specific method could be just loading a database dump. Assuming you're using Postgresql, n your local computer do

pg_dump -h localhost -U username -Fc dbname > db.dump

upload the file somewhere on the internet (like Amazon S3 so you can get a direct download link) and then on heroku run

heroku pgbackups:restore SHARED_DATABASE http://www.example.com/db.dump

Remember to remove the db dump right away if it's any kind of sensitive data!

The data from your local development database is not automatically transferred to the production environment. There is no rake task to do that.

You can use seed files and the rake db:seed task to get some initial data in your (production) database.
