I have a Pythonanywhere paid account. I would like to create odbc support from external database to pythonanywhere database. For this i have reffered documents from Pythonanywhere and found a topic with "Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server". So the question is should i have MySQL db and external should be MsSQL db or should i need MsSQL db and external can be any? Hoping for your reply

On PythonAnywhere we don't support Microsoft SQL, so the PythonAnywhere database needs to be MySQL. Your external database can be Microsoft SQL.

So if i have a MsSQL i can connect it with MySQL ? Canya guide me how to do it

Also can it be MySQL( The external one)?

You can connect to the external MySQL from PythonAnywhere as your account is upgraded to a paid one.

Can you describe how it is done?

Check the docs for the external service you use, there may be multiple ways to connect (e.g. if you'd like to connect with PA based db from outside of PA, you should use an SSH tunnel).
