Hi Alex, In theory no, you can't access the DB from outside the application. We recommend that you encapsulate the DB from your app, offering an API to manipulate it.
And yes you can configure your apps to connect to any DB server you want. On ActiveRecord you can do it with the method establish_connection, documented here: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M002364 Pedro On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 2:54 PM, Alex<[email protected]> wrote: > > Is it possible to access the heroku apps DB from outside the > application? > > Also, can an app be configured to use an outside DB server?
