I was referring to the SQLModel documentation but using PostgreSQL instead of SQLite. After a lot of troubleshooting, I identified that I need to additionally install a database driver to work with PostgreSQL as SQLModel does not install a database driver. Good to add this Tip for new / junior developers.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the PR!
I think this has the potential to cause more confusion, as this page mainly explains how the tutorial will be using SQLite and how that is sufficient for now. So showing additional install commands for Psycopq may confuse a new user or lead them into an unnecessary rabbit hole.
As such, I'll go ahead and close this one.
