This is an hard step and depend by the size of default dataset (?).

Just an idea (I've not tested it):

* Create a controller for the update with an upload field.
* Upload a DB with the basic dataset only. The file will update in
the /temp dir.
* Find out you postgres config reading the config/database.yml
* Execute (within the controller or by console) `psql ...` to import
tables. Two ways:
** Realtime overwriting (perhaps you have to put the app in
maintenance mode)
** Import with a different name, then delete the originals table and
rename the new ones

I don't know if Heroku folks are happy about this "a bit system level"
procedure :P
