DATABASE_URL not documented?

[Sam]

Hi!
While reading* Getting Started on Heroku with Python 

 
(Provision a database)*, they are talking about *DATABASE_URL* as if it was 
something which is implemented in Django by default.
As far as I know the *DATABASE_URL *is some kind of alias to access the 
*default 
*of *DATABASES *(?). 

However I don't find any documentation about it.
When I search for *site:djangoproject.com "database_url"* 
*,
 
*I mostly find forum posts discussing issues where DATABASE_URL is included.
I found ticket #28236  which 
suggests integrating dj-database-url into Django, which talks about the 
"DATABASE_URL environment variable".
The ticket is not solved after five years.

As you see, I am quite confused what *DATABASE_URL* actually is, since it 
seems considered common sense (or at least common use).
And therefore I'd suggest to mention it somewhere in the Django Docs.
Does it make sense?

I've expected to find it somewhere in the settings reference 
.

Kind regards,
Sam

No it's not built in to Django, it's only supported via dj-database-url.
The Heroku docs could be improved. They seem to make a passing mention
here:

Welcome!

There are many different ways to contribute to Django - the forum,
blogging, translating, documenting, writing code, and more. Our
Contributing Guide can help you get started with many of these:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/

If you’re looking to work with the code base (for documentation or code),
check out the “Advice for New Contributors” section:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/new-contributors/
. Then see if you can work through the “Writing Your First Patch” tutorial:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/intro/contributing/ .

If you get stuck or have questions, post back here or in the “Mentorship”
section on the forum:
https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/mentorship/10

Hope that helps,

Adam
