Here is my python code hosted on heroku

import os
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = os.environ['DATABASE_URL']
db = SQLAlchemy(app)


class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80))
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)

    def __init__(self, name, email):
        self.name = name
        self.email = email

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<Name %r>' % self.name


@app.route('/')
def hello():
    user = User('John Doe', '[email protected]')
    db.session.add(user)
    db.session.commit()

When i hosted this code on heroku it showed some internal server error and when i checked the heroku logs its showed error

ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) relation "user" does not exist

i'm new to this python and postgres on heroku thing and done this code with the help of the tutorial on this link

You need to create your tables first:

db.create_all()

It's mentioned in the tutorial. You only need to run this once (and every time you modify the structure of your models).

Also, make sure your database exists as well. – Burhan Khalid May 23 at 4:18
well i followed that tutorial....i did db.create_all()...still getting same error – iBlue May 23 at 4:34
@iBlue: Is that the exact error message? – Blender May 23 at 4:35
no actually its 500 internal server error, not the previous error – iBlue May 23 at 4:38
@iBlue: I meant in the heroku logs. You should get a Python traceback. – Blender May 23 at 4:38
