Write here how you think we can improve the tutorial Hi colleages,

in step 8 of this tutorial, at "Add persistent database", number 3, after creating the sqlite3 database, the text reads "This configuration is saved in your package.json as your default data source." But in fact, it is not. I had to find out about the missing part with the help of ChatGPT and add the respective part. It goes after { "name": "my-bookshop", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "A simple CAP project.", "repository": "", "license": "UNLICENSED", "private": true, "dependencies": { "@sap/cds": "^7", "express": "^4" },

 { "cds": {
    "requires": {
        "db": {
          "kind ": "sqlite",
          "model": [
            "db/",
            "srv/"
        ],
        "credentials": {
           "database": "db/my-bookshop.db",
           "url": "sqlite.db"
        }
      }
    }
  }
, ...
}

Only after this addition to the package.json file did 'cds watch' pick up on the database and showed [cds] - connect to db > sqlite { url: 'sqlite.db', database: 'db/my-bookshop.db' }.

Thank you.
