SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up Prisma with the correct database provider, connection string format, driver adapter, and client generation workflow is error-prone, especially with the differences between Prisma 6 and Prisma 7 and between SQL and MongoDB setups. This Skill provides verified, provider-specific configuration guidance so you avoid misconfigured schemas, wrong adapters, and connection failures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Provider-specific setup guides: Step-by-step configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, SQL Server, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres, including schema blocks, prisma.config.ts, and .env connection strings. - Driver adapter selection: Maps each database to the correct @prisma/adapter-* package and underlying JS driver, with instantiation examples for Prisma Client. - Version guardrails: Keeps MongoDB projects on Prisma 6.x with prisma-client-js and prevents applying the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow where it does not belong. - Use Case: You are switching a Next.js app from SQLite to PostgreSQL. Use this Skill to update the datasource provider, install @prisma/adapter-pg, configure DATABASE_URL, and regenerate Prisma Client correctly. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to configure Prisma for your database, for example: set up Prisma with PostgreSQL including the 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 the datasource provider to postgresql in prisma/schema.prisma, define DATABASE_URL in .env with the postgresql:// connection string format, and reference it in prisma.config.ts. Then install @prisma/adapter-pg and pg, and pass a PrismaPg adapter instance to PrismaClient.

How to set up Prisma Client with driver adapters?▼

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?▼

MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release with the prisma-client-js generator and the connection URL in schema.prisma. The Prisma 7 SQL driver adapter workflow does not apply to MongoDB, and no supported MongoDB upgrade path to Prisma 7 exists yet.

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; @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 or @prisma/adapter-libsql for SQLite and Turso; and @prisma/adapter-mssql for SQL Server. MongoDB uses no SQL adapter.

Why does Prisma fail to connect to my database?▼

Common causes include wrong host or port, firewall rules, unencoded special characters in passwords, or a missing schema parameter in the connection string. For SQL Server, ensure TCP/IP is enabled; for MongoDB transactions, ensure the instance is a replica set.

What are the limitations of Prisma with SQLite?▼

SQLite does not support enums or scalar list types like String[] directly, and write operations lock the database file, limiting concurrency. The connection string uses the file:./dev.db format relative to where Prisma runs.
