well ideally you would have a script to create the DB and possibly migrate it. IE this will create a PG database from `DATABASE_URL`

    import dj_database_url
    import psycopg2
    from psycopg2.extensions import ISOLATION_LEVEL_AUTOCOMMIT

    config = dj_database_url.config()
    db_conn = psycopg2.connect(host=config['HOST'],
        port=config['PORT'],
        user=config['USER'],
        password=config['PASSWORD'])
    db_conn.set_isolation_level(ISOLATION_LEVEL_AUTOCOMMIT)

    db_cur = db_conn.cursor()
    db_cur.execute('CREATE DATABASE ' + config['NAME'])

    db_cur.close()
    db_conn.close()

then it's simply a matter of `fig up` + `fig run web python manage.py createdb`
