What problem does it solve? Setting up Prisma ORM with the correct database provider, connection string, driver adapter, and client generation involves many version-specific details that are easy to get wrong, especially with the differences between Prisma 6 and Prisma 7 workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Provider-Specific Guides: Step-by-step setup for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, SQL Server, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres, including schema, config, and environment variable examples. - Driver Adapter Setup: Maps each database to the correct @prisma/adapter-* package and JS driver, with instantiation code for Prisma Client. - Version Guardrails: Clarifies that MongoDB projects should stay on Prisma 6.x with prisma-client-js and must not follow the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow. - Use Case: When initializing a new Node.js project with PostgreSQL, follow the guide to write the datasource block, create prisma.config.ts, set DATABASE_URL, install @prisma/adapter-pg, and generate a working Prisma Client. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to configure Prisma with your chosen database, for example: set up Prisma with PostgreSQL including the driver adapter and client generation.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-database-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Prisma with PostgreSQL?▼

Set provider to "postgresql" in prisma/schema.prisma, define the datasource URL in prisma.config.ts using env('DATABASE_URL'), and install @prisma/adapter-pg with pg. Then instantiate PrismaClient with the PrismaPg adapter using your connection string.

Which Prisma driver adapter should I use for my database?▼

PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, and Prisma Postgres use @prisma/adapter-pg; MySQL and MariaDB use @prisma/adapter-mariadb; SQLite uses @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 or @prisma/adapter-libsql for Turso; SQL Server uses @prisma/adapter-mssql. MongoDB uses no SQL adapter.

Can I use Prisma 7 with MongoDB?▼

No. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release with the prisma-client-js generator and the connection URL in schema.prisma. The Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path.

Why does Prisma Client generation require an output path?▼

The prisma-client generator requires an explicit output path and does not generate into node_modules by default. Add output = "../generated" to the generator block and import PrismaClient from that path, then re-run npx prisma generate after every schema change.

How do I fix Prisma connection errors like authentication failed?▼

Verify the host, port, and credentials in your DATABASE_URL, and URL-encode special characters in passwords. For PostgreSQL ensure the schema parameter is set; for SQL Server enable TCP/IP and use SQL Server authentication with encrypt and trustServerCertificate options.

What are the limitations of using SQLite with Prisma?▼

SQLite does not support enums or scalar list types like String[], and write operations lock the database file, limiting concurrency. The database file path in DATABASE_URL is relative, so confirm how your prisma.config.ts resolves it.
