Question 1

Is Prisma Client Go still maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, it's deprecated and won't be updated for Prisma v7+. It's in alpha and maintained by a single developer, with limited future development expected.

Question 2

How do I generate the Prisma Client Go code in my project?

Accepted Answer

After defining your Prisma schema, use the Prisma CLI to run 'prisma generate', which outputs Go client code. Import this into your project as per the quickstart guide.

Question 3

What databases does Prisma Client Go support?

Accepted Answer

It supports databases compatible with the Prisma ecosystem, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server, but verify specific versions in the documentation.

Question 4

Prisma Client Go vs GORM: which is better for type safety?

Accepted Answer

Prisma Client Go provides superior compile-time type safety through auto-generation, while GORM relies more on runtime reflection. However, due to deprecation, GORM might be more viable long-term.

Question 5

How to handle raw SQL queries with Prisma Client Go?

Accepted Answer

It includes methods for raw SQL execution, such as using the Prisma client's raw query functions, but type safety is reduced, so manual result mapping is often required.

Question 6

Can I use Prisma Client Go without Prisma Migrate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can integrate it with existing databases or other migration tools, but it's optimized for use with Prisma's migration system, so some features may be less seamless.
