AI Assistant: "I'll help you add a comment system! Based on your existing blog schema, I recommend:
1. Create a 'comments' table with: - postId (reference to blog posts) - authorId (user reference) - content (string) - createdAt (timestamp) - parentId (for nested comments)
2. Add these relationships: - posts.comments (one-to-many) - users.comments (one-to-many)
