SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up Prisma ORM with the correct database provider, connection string, driver adapter, and client generation involves many version-specific details that are easy to get wrong, especially with the differences between Prisma 6 and Prisma 7 workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Provider-Specific Guides: Step-by-step configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, SQL Server, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres, including schema blocks, prisma.config.ts, and environment variables. - Driver Adapter Setup: Maps each database to the correct @prisma/adapter-* package and JS driver, with ready-to-use PrismaClient instantiation code. - Version Guardrails: Clarifies that MongoDB projects must stay on Prisma 6.x with prisma-client-js and must not follow the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow. - Use Case: When starting a new Next.js app with PostgreSQL, use this Skill to generate the schema datasource block, prisma.config.ts, .env connection string, and adapter-based PrismaClient setup in one pass. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to configure Prisma with PostgreSQL in this project, including the schema, 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 to "postgresql" in prisma/schema.prisma, define the datasource URL in prisma.config.ts using env("DATABASE_URL"), and install @prisma/adapter-pg with pg. Then instantiate PrismaClient with the PrismaPg adapter using your connection string.

How to set up Prisma Client with a driver adapter?▼

Install prisma and @prisma/client, add a generator block with provider "prisma-client" and an explicit output path, then run npx prisma generate. Instantiate PrismaClient with the adapter matching your database, such as PrismaPg for PostgreSQL or PrismaMariaDb for MySQL.

Does Prisma 7 support MongoDB?▼

Prisma 7 does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release, keep url = env("DATABASE_URL") in the schema, use prisma-client-js, and avoid SQL driver adapters.

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

PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres use @prisma/adapter-pg; MySQL and MariaDB use @prisma/adapter-mariadb; SQLite uses @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 or @prisma/adapter-libsql for Turso; SQL Server uses @prisma/adapter-mssql. MongoDB uses no SQL adapter.

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 URL. Verify the connection string format for your provider and confirm the database server is running and reachable.

What are the limitations of using SQLite with Prisma?▼

SQLite does not support enums or scalar list types like String[], and write operations lock the database file, limiting concurrency. For edge or distributed use cases, consider the LibSQL/Turso adapter instead of better-sqlite3.
