Research direction

Open the linked MSSQL tutorial at the “Add pyodbc to your requirements file” section and check how the Community Cloud driver is described. Update the documentation to state the available ODBC Driver version, then verify that it matches the reported Community Cloud version 17 and does not imply version 18 is available.

Description

docs needs triage

Link to doc page in question (if any):
https://docs.streamlit.io/develop/tutorials/databases/mssql#add-pyodbc-to-your-requirements-file

Name of the Streamlit feature whose docs need improvement:
Availability of ODBC Driver for SQL Server available on Community Cloud

What you think the docs should say:
It's necessary to specify the version of the ODBC driver to be used when connecting to SQL Server using pyodbc. The docs helpful explain that ODBC Driver for SQL Server is available by default on Community Cloud but don't specify the version that's available.

The version that's currently available on Community Cloud is version 17. (I have opened an issue requesting that version 18 be made available: https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit/issues/10860.) It would save users from having to figure out for themselves which version(s) are available if the docs specified this.
