we should change jsx to prisma on the code blocks but otherwise it looks good 👍

[nurul3101]

I have made the change in code blocks. If it looks good, we can go ahead and merge it.

Deployment failed.
Page is missing file extension and front matter.

Ugh, how the deployment fails on Vercel is scary:

I think it would be helpful to actually show the SQL of the underlying relation table here. Fundamentally, this guide needs to teach how the already existing relation table is being surfaced in the Prisma schema.

Question: Right now, the guide teaches how to create a new model to represent the relation table. Wouldn't it be possible to just reuse the already existing relation table that Prisma maintains for you?
