I'm just slightly confused, when I did the howtographql tutorial, I never had to introspect the database or run specific database schemas, I just wrote the datamodel and with prisma deploy the database and tables were created

Hi Danny, That's the same way that I've been successfully using it and there isn't an issue with that. I did read a comment a day or 2 ago that the prefered method is to use standard SQL statements to create your database, tables, etc and then use introspect to create from prisma file from that.

@Danny @Richard Ward I would suggest getting started with Prisma 2 as that is where you would require introspecting your database. The howtographql tutorial is outdated as it uses Prisma 1 so I would strongly suggest getting started here.
