How to connect to PostgreSQL

Circumeo automatically creates a new PostgreSQL database for each project, whether that project was created from scratch, uploaded, or imported from GitHub.

You can connect to your database with a DATABASES block similar to the following:

import os

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
        "NAME": os.environ["POSTGRES_DB"],
        "USER": os.environ["POSTGRES_USER"],
        "PASSWORD": os.environ["POSTGRES_PASSWORD"],
        "HOST": os.environ["POSTGRES_HOST"],
        "PORT": os.environ["POSTGRES_PORT"],
    }
}

The PostgreSQL connection environment variables will be automatically available to your Django app.

You can export your database at any time by visiting the Settings tab and triggering an export there.
