Description
Problem
Beginners don't understand the relationship when they use tortoise-orm for the first time.
For example One-to-one, One-to-many, Many-to-many connections.
Solution
Most engineers use draw.io (or similar) for database design.
I think database diagram designs should also be added to the examples for tortoise.github.io.
I drew a design in draw.io for tortoise-orm relations.

Above, FK is the foreign key, PK is the primary key.

Done means the documentation includes understandable diagrams for one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships, with the key labels explained.
