Yes, several people are currently using it to do just that.

How to configure to work with postgresql?

nbudin commented 13 years ago

heroku_external_db uses the same environment variable format that Heroku itself does for its database configuration:

adapter://user:password@host/database

So for postgres, you would put postgres://... as the variable name.

See http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/database#database_urls for more information from Heroku.
