raise NotSupportedError('SQL Server v%d is not supported.' % ver) django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: SQL Server v16 is not supported.

}
I'm using SQL server 2022.
also the db file's name DB.sql in project directory. but I write here the name that is written while I create database. (I tried with DB.sql also of course)
I can understand the fault is about version but which one is wrong I dont know.

Answer 1

It may be due to several reasons such as-
Incorrect database connection settings: Make sure that you have entered the correct database name, server name, and login credentials in your Django settings.
Network issues: If your Django application is unable to connect to the database server, it could be due to network issues such as a firewall blocking access or a network configuration problem.
Incorrect version of Django or Python: Make sure that you are using a version of Django and Python that is compatible with the version of the Microsoft SQL Server database you are trying to connect to
I will update if i can get more source
