I have an application deployed in pythonanywhere everything is running fine till now. Now I want to connect my app with the database as my application needs to interact with it. My .sql file is stored in my computer.
How can I import it to the project's database in the pythonanywhere server ?
I have tried connecting that database using MySQL Workbench so that I can import from there but Workbench wasn't able to connect to that server.
There are two helpful instructions on PythonAnywhere, one about Backing up (and restoring) MySQL databases other about accessing your MySQL database from outside PythonAnywhere (you can do it using ssh tunnel).

I need a database, but only in local directory of my program. Can pymysql or something like that connect with a db file, not a server?
I only found how to create db with my localhost, but I don't understand where is location of this databases and all my connections options will be in the file, which can be read by everyone.
I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding whether it's possible to access SQLITE3 (using Python) when the SQLITE database is hosted externally:
I have my SQLITE3 database hosted on my VPS (alongside some other stuff that doesn't really matter) - rather than having it as a local file with my Python program.
Therefore, is it possible for me to connect to the SQLITE database which is hosted on my VPS, or will the SQLITE DB have to be hosted locally for me to be able to do this?
The reason I want it to be accessible from my VPS is because I want to be able to run the program on multiple computers and them all have the same access to the database- if this isn't possible, are there any other options which would allow me to do this?
If you want to have a database server with external, possibly remote, applications interacting a client-server protocol switch to PostgreSQL, MariaDB, etc.

I am creating a Django project where I have to use existing database data. The existing database is Postgres and it is hosted on Aws. My goal is to copy them from Aws to my local Postgres DB and use in my project.
Thanks
You can dump the database from AWS and import locally from tools like Mysql workbench
I have a python django application that I published to heroku by connecting to github. I want some people to be able to add some information to the database from the website. If I make changes to the code, push to github and deploy the branch the database will go back to how it was at first. How can update my code for the app without changing the database?
If you host your database on a separate server, like with Amazon RDS or Heroku Postgres, and configure your code to connect to this remote host, you should have sufficient decoupling to avoid what you are talking about.
I have a bottle+mongo application running in openshift. when I git-clone the application to my local computer neither the database nor the env-variables get download on my computer --just the python files. Should I have to mimic the mongo part in my local computer to developed locally? Or I missing something here.
Yes. You have to run your own Mongodb server locally or port forward and use the OPENSHIFT Mongodb.
