FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB?

To set up Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB, configure the provider in the Prisma schema, define environment variables for the connection string, and run Prisma generate to instantiate the client.

What is the correct way to switch databases in an existing Prisma project?

Switching databases in a Prisma project requires updating the database provider in your schema, adjusting environment variables, configuring driver adapters, and regenerating the Prisma Client to match the new target database.

Can I use Prisma with SQL Server and CockroachDB?

Yes, Prisma supports SQL Server and CockroachDB. Provider-specific setup guidance ensures proper schema configuration, driver adapters, and client instantiation for these and other supported databases like SQLite.

Why does Prisma Client generation fail after changing database providers?

Prisma Client generation fails after changing providers if the schema configuration, environment variables, or driver adapters are not updated correctly. Applying provider-specific setup guidance resolves these connectivity issues.

Do I need driver adapters for Prisma database setup?

Driver adapters are needed for Prisma database setup to ensure correct integration with specific providers. They manage the connection alongside environment variables and client instantiation for your target database.
