Cool. I want to build a pipeline for a client. Can the python script read and insert data into a database without installing it locally?

[@TomsTechAcademy]

Hi, yes you should be able to insert data in a remote database. PA offers databases as well - see the databases sheet - but you probably want to store your client's data in their database.
The challenge is that most database solutions require you to whitelist IP's which can interact with the database. I'm not 100% sure whether PA's IP's don't rotate - so this can be a challenge..
You can find some solutions for this issue here: help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/StaticIPForExternalAllowlists/
Good luck, Thomas

@@TomsTechAcademy I will have to think of use case 🤔 still, it's nice to know there's such option.
