    OnPremise versions utilize Microsoft SQL Server, online versions are based on Dataverse

    Hi,

    Dynamics 365 uses the Common Data Service(Now renamed to Dataverse) to store its data - see docs.microsoft.com/.../data-platform-intro

    The Common Data Service abstracts the application from how the data is stored. In actual fact, the Common Data Service uses a mixture of Azure SQL, Azure Blob, and zure Data Lake.

    For on-premise, it uses SQL Server
