SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Upgrading from Prisma ORM v6 to v7 introduces breaking changes around the new prisma-client generator, mandatory driver adapters, prisma.config.ts, explicit environment loading, and new generated client entrypoints, and this Skill guides the entire migration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Schema and Generator Migration: Switch from prisma-client-js to the prisma-client generator with required output paths and updated import entrypoints. - Driver Adapter Setup: Install and configure adapters for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Neon, SQL Server, and Prisma Postgres, including pool and SSL settings. - Config and Environment Migration: Create prisma.config.ts, load .env files explicitly with dotenv, and replace removed features like $use middleware and Prisma.validator. - Use Case: A team upgrading a Next.js app to Prisma 7 follows the step-by-step references to update the schema, install @prisma/adapter-pg, rewrite client instantiation, and resolve ESM import errors. ## Quick Start Upgrade my project from Prisma 6 to Prisma 7 and fix all breaking changes including the generator, driver adapter, and prisma.config.ts setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Prisma from v6 to 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 like @prisma/adapter-pg, update client imports and instantiation, then run prisma generate.

What driver adapter should I use with Prisma 7?

Prisma 7 requires driver adapters for SQL providers: @prisma/adapter-pg for PostgreSQL, @prisma/adapter-mariadb for MySQL, @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 for SQLite, and @prisma/adapter-neon for Neon. Pass the adapter instance to the PrismaClient constructor.

Does Prisma 7 support MongoDB?

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

Why does Prisma 7 not load my .env file automatically?

Prisma v7 removed automatic environment variable loading, so you must install dotenv and add import 'dotenv/config' as the first line of prisma.config.ts. Bun users are exempt because Bun loads .env files automatically.

How do I replace Prisma.validator in Prisma 7?

The prisma-client generator no longer exposes Prisma.validator, so use TypeScript's satisfies operator instead. Define your select or include object literal and append satisfies Prisma.UserSelect (or the relevant model type) for type-safe query fragments.

Can I use Prisma Accelerate with driver adapters in v7?

No, driver adapters expect direct database connection strings and fail with prisma:// or prisma+postgres:// URLs. For Accelerate, pass accelerateUrl to PrismaClient and apply the withAccelerate extension from @prisma/extension-accelerate instead.
