FAQPage Schema
What is a Prisma driver adapter and when do I need one?

A Prisma driver adapter connects Prisma ORM v7 to custom database drivers. You need one to manage transaction lifecycles, connection handling, and error mapping for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, or SQLite integration.

How do I implement a Prisma v7 driver adapter for PostgreSQL?

Implement a Prisma v7 driver adapter by satisfying the SqlDriverAdapter and Transaction protocols. This reference provides architectural guidance covering transaction lifecycles, error mapping, and connection handling for PostgreSQL integration.

Can I use a Prisma driver adapter with MySQL and SQLite?

Yes, the Prisma driver adapter protocol applies to building adapters across PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite. It includes architectural diagrams and implementation guidance for cross-database adapter integration.

What interfaces do I need to implement for a Prisma driver adapter?

You must implement SqlMigrationAwareDriverAdapterFactory, SqlDriverAdapter, Transaction, and conversion helpers. These define the complete protocol for lifecycle management and structured error handling in Prisma ORM v7.

How does error mapping work in a Prisma driver adapter?

Error mapping translates database-specific errors into structured Prisma ORM v7 exceptions. The reference implementation includes validation and structured error handling to ensure consistent behavior across PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite.
