FAQPage Schema

How do I implement a Prisma v7 driver adapter for a new database?▼

Implementing a Prisma v7 driver adapter requires building an adapter factory, managing connection and shadow connections, and handling the transaction lifecycle according to required interfaces.

How does error mapping work in Prisma driver adapters?▼

Error mapping in Prisma driver adapters translates native database errors into Prisma's standardized error codes to ensure consistent error handling across different database drivers.

What is the transaction lifecycle when building a custom Prisma database driver?▼

The transaction lifecycle for a custom Prisma database driver dictates how transaction boundaries, connections, and shadow connections are managed to ensure atomic operations and rollback capabilities.

Do I need TypeScript to build a Prisma driver adapter?▼

TypeScript is strongly recommended for building Prisma driver adapters to ensure type safety and strict compliance with the complex required interfaces and architectural contracts.

How can I verify my custom Prisma adapter is production-ready?▼

You can verify a custom Prisma adapter is production-ready by applying a verification checklist that validates adapter compliance with Prisma specifications, required interfaces, and transaction lifecycles.

What are the limitations of evolving an existing Prisma driver adapter?▼

Evolving an existing Prisma driver adapter is limited by strict v7 contract details and required interfaces; changes to connection handling or error mapping must strictly adhere to Prisma specifications.
