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 .env connection strings. - 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 should stay on Prisma 6.x with prisma-client-js and must not follow the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow. - Use Case: You are starting a new Node.js project on PostgreSQL. Use this Skill to generate the schema datasource block, configure prisma.config.ts, install @prisma/adapter-pg, and instantiate a working PrismaClient in minutes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to configure Prisma with your chosen 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 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 with MongoDB?▼

Stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release, use provider "mongodb" with url = env("DATABASE_URL") in the schema, and the prisma-client-js generator. Do not install SQL driver adapters, and use prisma db push instead of migrations since MongoDB is schema-less.

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 @prisma/adapter-mssql for SQL Server. MongoDB uses no SQL adapter.

Can I use Prisma 7 with MongoDB?▼

No, Prisma 7 does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path. MongoDB projects should remain on the latest Prisma 6.x release with prisma-client-js and keep the connection URL in schema.prisma rather than adopting the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow.

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, such as postgresql://user:password@host:5432/db?schema=public.

What are the limitations of Prisma with SQLite?▼

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 instead of better-sqlite3.
