• nodeCount: "Count {nodeLabel} nodes"
• findBetween: "Who is between {first} and {second} in {database}"

Database Prep

For instance create an alexa:alexa user on sandbox databases and use them.

Also run this procedure call (on the labels + properties in your database).

You configure databases to select from via `heroku config`

the `_name` suffix is used to select the database to search in.
