Hi there, Check out the docs for a lot of good info on how Heroku's DB works:
http://docs.heroku.com/database http://docs.heroku.com/taps All Heroku apps use a postgres DB. Heroku automatically configures your app on the fly to make sure it uses the right database. You need to move your own data into the Heroku database - TAPS is a good way to do that.
