prisma-upgrade-v7

Update @prisma/client and prisma to version 7, switch the generator provider to prisma-client with an explicit output path, create prisma.config.ts, install a driver adapter such as @prisma/adapter-pg, update client imports, and run prisma generate.

The prisma-client generator is the default generator in Prisma 7, replacing prisma-client-js for new projects. It requires an explicit output directory and produces client, browser, models, and enums entrypoints instead of generating into node_modules.

No, Prisma 7 has no MongoDB connector and no MongoDB driver adapter package. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release or migrate to Prisma Next instead of following the standard v7 SQL migration path.

Prisma 7 requires a driver adapter for all SQL providers, so instantiating PrismaClient without one fails. Install the adapter matching your database, such as @prisma/adapter-pg for PostgreSQL, and pass it to the client constructor.

Keep your prisma:// or prisma+postgres:// URL and pass it as accelerateUrl to PrismaClient, then apply the withAccelerate extension from @prisma/extension-accelerate. Do not pass Accelerate URLs to driver adapters, since they expect direct connection strings.

Prisma.validator is replaced by TypeScript's satisfies operator applied to generated types like Prisma.UserSelect. The $use middleware API is replaced by Client Extensions using $extends with query hooks for logging, soft deletes, and similar patterns.
