SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prisma 7 introduces a breaking change where the old engine type client is no longer sufficient, requiring a driver adapter to connect to databases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install the appropriate driver adapter package (e.g., @prisma/adapter-pg, @prisma/adapter-mysql, @prisma/adapter-libsql) and configure the adapter in code.
  • Update Prisma client initialization to instantiate and pass the adapter to PrismaClient.
  • Regenerate the client and rebuild the application to apply the changes, with guidance for serverless or Next.js environments.

Quick Start

Replace your Prisma client initialization to use the appropriate driver adapter, then run prisma generate and rebuild.
