SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds a practical blueprint and reference for implementing a Prisma ORM v7 driver adapter that can be wired to any database, ensuring consistent contracts and integration patterns across adapters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines the core architecture and required interfaces (adapter factory, driver adapter, and Transaction) and shows how to map operations to the Prisma driver-adapter-utils.
  • Documents lifecycle semantics (BEGIN, SAVEPOINTs, commit/rollback) and error handling strategies, including mapping of common DB errors to Prisma's MappedError.
  • Provides guidance for common scenarios like adding a new database driver, extending the adapter for custom behaviors, and integrating Prisma with diverse data sources.

Quick Start

Configure the adapter with your database URL and generate a PrismaClient instance to begin using the driver adapter.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a Prisma ORM driver adapter for a new database?

The Prisma driver adapter interface defines a contract mapping database operations to Prisma's driver-adapter-utils, specifying how to execute queries and manage connections. It requires implementing the adapter factory, SqlDriverAdapter, and Transaction interfaces to ensure consistent integration patterns across databases.

How do I handle transaction lifecycles and savepoints in a Prisma driver adapter?

You handle transaction lifecycles in a Prisma driver adapter by implementing BEGIN, SAVEPOINT, commit, and rollback semantics within the Transaction interface. This approach manages nested transactions correctly and maintains consistent state boundaries across diverse data sources.

Does this Prisma driver adapter guide cover mapping database errors?

Yes, the guide covers error handling strategies by mapping common database errors to Prisma's MappedError type. This ensures exceptions from new data sources are translated into consistent Prisma ORM errors, maintaining reliable error handling across adapter implementations.

What is the best way to test a custom Prisma driver adapter?

The best way to test a custom Prisma driver adapter is to follow the codified testing strategies that validate correct implementation of SqlDriverAdapter and Transaction interfaces. This ensures proper query execution patterns, transaction lifecycle handling, and error mapping for your specific data source.

Can I use TypeScript to build a driver adapter for Prisma v7?

Yes, you can use TypeScript to build a driver adapter for Prisma v7, as this guide targets TypeScript engineers. It provides typed interface definitions for the SqlDriverAdapter and Transaction contracts needed to extend Prisma ORM with new database drivers.
