Migrating MySQL database from local server to Heroku

Question

I have made a MySQL database on my local server.

I want to port this to Heroku. Would there be any way to do this without using ClearDB? ClearDB asks for account verification, credit card details etc. which I do not want to give. The rest of the application is hosted on Heroku, so I just need to migrate the database.

Would this be possible?

You have at least three options:

There are other Heroku addons that provide MySQL databases. I'm not sure if any of them let you get started without a credit card.
You could use a MySQL provider that's not explicitly supported by Heroku and point your application to it manually.
You could update your application to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL and use Heroku's own Postgres service.
