How to configure Django database using Heroku?

Question

I'm using Heroku with Django.

The database is configured in settings.py this way, using the dj-database-url module:

DATABASES = {'default': dj_database_url.config()}

How can I do to add additional parameters, for example ATOMIC_REQUESTS? In a "normal" case I would do like this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase',
        'USER': 'mydatabaseuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '5432',
        'ATOMIC_REQUESTS': True,
    }
}

DATABASES is just a dictionary: you can add the relevant settings after the initial configuration.

DATABASES = {'default': dj_database_url.config()}
DATABASES['default']['ATOMIC_REQUESTS'] = True
