Use this AI prompt to automatically design one-to-many and many-to-many database relationships between entities, including relational mappings and foreign keys.

🧠 What This Prompt Does

This prompt helps developers design database relationships between entities in SQL or NoSQL systems.
It maps entities, keys, and relationships for normalized, scalable data design.


💬 The Prompt

You are a database architect.
Design database relationships for the following entities.

Requirements:

- Define one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships
- Include field names and keys
- Output both textual and visual (Mermaid ERD) format

Entities:
{{entities}}

⚙️ Example Input

{ "entities": "User, Post, Comment, and Tag" }

Relationships

  • A User can have many Posts.
  • A Post belongs to one User.
  • A Post can have many Comments.

ER Diagram

erDiagram USER ||--o{ POST : writes POST ||--o{ COMMENT : has POST }o--o{ TAG : labeled

📘 When to Use This Prompt

  • During database planning and normalization.
  • For visualizing ER diagrams quickly.
  • Before implementing relationships in Prisma or Mongoose.

💡 Best Practices

  • Always identify cardinality before modeling.
  • Normalize to avoid redundant data.
  • Use junction tables for many-to-many mappings.
  • Keep relationships consistent with business logic.

🏁 Summary

This prompt helps you map and visualize database relationships for SQL or MongoDB — the perfect AI tool for data architects and backend engineers.
