I am getting the same issue and I am using the original source code with no modifications...

This is because flask-sqlalchemy update in 3.0 look up here https://flask-sqlalchemy.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/quickstart/#create-the-tables

update your code to this

def create_database(app):
    if not path.exists('website/' + DB_NAME):
        with app.app_context():
            db.create_all()
            print('Created Database!')

your database will created in folder \instance\database.db
