MySql error version

Hello, I am working on a project with django and I was using MySql 5.7.41 in python anywhere but it is not supported according to the web page error 'Exception Value:

MySQL 8 or later is required (found 5.7.41). '

Django version 4.2 Python version : 3.10.5

Could you update my database console to the MySQL 8 version please?

We are working on that. Use Django 4.1 until MySQL 8 is ready.

We are now able to migrate users to MySQL 8 on request. The migration takes a few minutes plus the time it takes for us to dump and reload your databases on the new server. So larger databases will take longer. Your database will not be available during the migration. You will need to be on either the glastonbury or the haggis system image (https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage/), so please make sure that you are on one of those before making the request. Send a request to support@pythonanywhere.com with an indication of a time when it will be convenient for you (between 11am and 6pm UTC on a weekday).
