SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires drizzle-orm, drizzle-kit, @cloudflare/workers-types, better-sqlite3, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up Drizzle ORM with Cloudflare D1 involves subtle pitfalls—transaction errors, foreign key migration failures, binding mismatches, and TypeScript inference issues—that cause production bugs and wasted debugging time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Schema & Migration Workflow: Define SQLite-compatible schemas with relations, generate SQL migrations via drizzle-kit, and apply them through Wrangler with a local-first testing process. - Type-Safe Query Patterns: Provides CRUD, joins, batch operations, and prepared statement templates with full TypeScript inference for D1 Workers. - Known Issue Prevention: Documents 12 documented D1/Drizzle errors (e.g., BEGIN TRANSACTION failures, foreign key constraint errors) with concrete fixes. - Use Case: When building a Cloudflare Worker backed by a D1 database, use this Skill to scaffold the schema, generate migrations, and write queries without hitting D1-specific transaction or binding errors. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up Drizzle ORM with a Cloudflare D1 database, define a users and posts schema, and generate the initial migration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Drizzle ORM with Cloudflare D1?

Install drizzle-orm and drizzle-kit, create a drizzle.config.ts with dialect 'sqlite' and driver 'd1-http', then configure wrangler.jsonc with a D1 binding and migrations_dir pointing to ./migrations. Generate migrations with drizzle-kit generate and apply them via wrangler d1 migrations apply.

How do I run transactions with Drizzle on Cloudflare D1?

D1 does not support SQL BEGIN TRANSACTION, so Drizzle's db.transaction() fails with a D1_ERROR. Use db.batch([...]) instead to execute multiple statements atomically, and handle partial failures with manual cleanup logic.

Why does my Drizzle migration fail with a foreign key constraint error on D1?

Drizzle generates PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF statements that conflict with D1 migration execution when tables contain data. Define cascading deletes in your schema references, ensure parent tables migrate before child tables, and always test locally with the --local flag first.

Why is env.DB undefined in my Cloudflare Worker?

The binding name in wrangler.jsonc must exactly match the property accessed in code. Verify the d1_databases binding field (e.g., "DB") matches your Env interface and that migrations_dir points to your Drizzle migrations folder.

Should I use drizzle-kit push or generate for D1 migrations?

Use drizzle-kit generate to create versioned SQL files, then apply them with wrangler d1 migrations apply. Avoid drizzle-kit push for production and never mix drizzle-kit migrate with Wrangler's migration commands.

How do I store dates in Cloudflare D1 with Drizzle?

D1 has no native date type, so use integer columns with mode: 'timestamp' and .$defaultFn(() => new Date()) for defaults. This allows date comparisons in queries while storing values as Unix timestamps.
