What problem does it solve? Setting up Prisma ORM with the correct database provider, connection string format, driver adapter, and client generation steps is error-prone, especially with the differences between Prisma 6 and Prisma 7 workflows. This Skill provides provider-specific configuration guides so you avoid misconfigured datasources, 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 PrismaClient. - 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 migrating a Node.js app 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 correctly. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to configure Prisma with PostgreSQL in your project, including the schema datasource block, connection string, driver adapter, and client generation steps.

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 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?▼

MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release with the prisma-client-js generator and the connection URL kept 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 on Node.js; @prisma/adapter-mariadb for MySQL/MariaDB; @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 or @prisma/adapter-libsql for SQLite/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 the password, 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. The connection string uses the file:./dev.db format, resolved relative to the schema location.
