What problem does it solve? Setting up Prisma ORM with the correct database provider, connection string, driver adapter, and client generator is error-prone, especially with the differences between Prisma 6 and Prisma 7 workflows. This Skill provides verified, provider-specific configuration guidance so you avoid misconfigured schemas, wrong adapters, and connection failures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Provider-Specific Guides: Step-by-step setup for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, SQL Server, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres, including schema blocks, prisma.config.ts, and .env connection strings. - Driver Adapter Setup: Correct adapter and driver pairings (e.g., @prisma/adapter-pg with pg, @prisma/adapter-mariadb with mariadb) for the Prisma 7 SQL workflow. - Prisma Client Generation: Instructions for the prisma-client generator with explicit output paths and single-instance client patterns. - Use Case: You are switching a project from SQLite to PostgreSQL. Use this Skill to update the datasource provider, install @prisma/adapter-pg, set the DATABASE_URL format, and regenerate Prisma Client without trial and error. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to configure Prisma with PostgreSQL in your project, including the schema datasource, connection string, driver adapter, and client generation.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-database-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Prisma with PostgreSQL?▼

Set provider = "postgresql" in prisma/schema.prisma, define the datasource URL in prisma.config.ts, and set DATABASE_URL in .env using the postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE?schema=SCHEMA format. Then install @prisma/adapter-pg and pg, and pass a PrismaPg adapter instance to PrismaClient.

How do I set up Prisma with MongoDB?▼

Stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release and use provider = "mongodb" with prisma-client-js, keeping url = env("DATABASE_URL") in the schema. Do not apply the Prisma 7 SQL driver adapter workflow, and ensure your MongoDB instance is a replica set for transaction support.

Which Prisma driver adapter should I use for my database?▼

Use @prisma/adapter-pg for PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres; @prisma/adapter-mariadb for MySQL and MariaDB; @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 or @prisma/adapter-libsql for SQLite; and @prisma/adapter-mssql for SQL Server. MongoDB does not use a SQL adapter.

Does Prisma 7 work with MongoDB?▼

Prisma 7 does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release with prisma-client-js and continue using prisma db push instead of migrations.

Why does Prisma fail to connect to my database?▼

Common causes include incorrect host or port, firewall rules, unencoded special characters in passwords, or a missing schema parameter in the connection string. Verify the DATABASE_URL format matches your provider and that the database server is running and reachable.

What are the limitations of using SQLite with Prisma?▼

SQLite does not support enums or scalar lists like String[] directly, and write operations lock the database file, limiting concurrency. For edge deployments or Turso, use the @prisma/adapter-libsql adapter with a libsql client instead.
