Guys,

You are so great to maintain this discussion board and answer the  
queries listed by the newbies here. Thank you for doing this.

Heroku announced recently an update in their Postgre SQL offering  
([http://www.advertisertalk.com/heroku-postgresql-database-add-on-gets-](http://www.advertisertalk.com/heroku-postgresql-database-add-on-gets-)  
update-17533.zhtml)

At present most of the how-to’s on the web are written for Radiant/  
sqlite/Heroku. Will anyone share observations on using Radiant CMS/  
Heroku with Postgre SQL?

What are the tips and tricks we need to know? Ruby and gems versions?  
Will it be a problem if I use Postgre SQL 9 insted 8.4.4.?

I am using Radiant CMS version 0.9.1.

Thanks,  
Petko

Heroku uses postgres every time unless you specify otherwise. If you  
make a local app using sqlite and push it to heroku, it will be  
running on postgres there.

It shouldn’t.
