Heroku makes sharing SQL data as easy as URL — Cloud Computing News
Derrick Harris, reporting for GigaOm:
Cloud Platform-as-a-Service provider Herokuhas added a new feature to its PostgreSQL database service that lets users share the results of an SQL query simply by sending a URL. The feature, called Data Clips, is in beta mode and is the first new feature of likely many since the company launched Heroku Postgres in November.
According to Heroku Postgres Product Manager Matthew Soldo, the new feature came about because Heroku employees often found themselves sharing SQL data in less-than-ideal manners. One popular technique, he told me, was to paste the results of a database query into Gist and share as a text file. But that process involved extraneous steps and, often, the data got outdated rather quickly.
Heroku once again release an awesome new feature.
