In the tutorial, the guy picks the name for the project and picks a sample structure and goes from there. When I tried doing the same, all I was asked for was the name of the project and it was created. I am confused though because I did not get to pick Postgresql or the repo name or anything.
Yeah that guide is out of date. Are you looking to have a hosted PostgreSQL db?
Yes
We're no longer offering that 🙂
I would recommend something like supabase or neon.tech for that

Neon

I mean this is all I am trying to do. In the video, he skipped the step for how to obtain this DATABASE_URL
He said to use your own postgresql link, so I am not sure how to initialize my own db or get the link for this
hmmm well, if you're looking for just local testing, I would probably recommend using docker to run a postgresql db locally. Here's a how to guide from their site. https://www.docker.com/blog/how-to-use-the-postgres-docker-official-image/

This is the requirements for the project. Sorry for sending a long description, I am completely new to Prisma and connecting the web to the database. However I would like your help to be sure that I am on the right track. Based on the description, is hosting it locally sufficient? (Note: I am working in a group).
Also, postgres is not required. I could go based on Oracle or Sqlite instead if that is whats causing the problem.
Yes. The DB will be hosted locally on your machine, but it is a real database and is not
JSON or local storage. If you're concerned I'd reach out to your instructor.If you'd prefer, our Quickstart uses SQLite: https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/quickstart
