Request for feedback for Preview features

We would appreciate your feedback on a handful of Preview features to help us move them to General Availability soon. The Preview features include:

• PostgreSQL extensions
• Extended where unique
• Field reference support
• Order by Nulls
• Count by filtered relation

You can test them by enabling the Preview feature in your Prisma schema and giving them a try already in your Prisma schema, e.g., PostgreSQL extensions, or regenerating Prisma Client and trying them in your queries.

Highlights

Improved Prisma Client startup performance

For the last couple of months, we've been working hard to improve the performance of Prisma Client. We also published a blog post on how How We Sped Up Serverless Cold Starts with Prisma by 9x, which we recommend you give it a read.

This release continues with the same theme by making the size of the generated Prisma Client smaller. We have roughly halved the size of Prisma Client's dependencies.

More Introspection Stopgaps

In 4.13.0, we introduced the first 6 Introspection Stopgaps. Introspection Stopgaps surface the existence of these features in your database and link to our documentation on how to manually work around the Prisma Schema with unsupported database features (”Stopgaps” as we will remove them as soon as we implement full support for these features).

In this release, we added 3 more stopgaps for the following features:

• Check Constraints (MySQL + PostgreSQL)
• Exclusion Constraints
• MongoDB $jsonSchema

On introspecting a database using any of these features, you will get a warning from the Prisma CLI and a comment in your Prisma schema where the feature is being used. The warning will also contain a link to instructions on how to manually use the feature.

Fixes and improvements

Prisma Client

• Generator output client leads to Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../node_modules/@prisma/client/schema.prisma'
• DeprecationWarning: Implicit coercion to integer for exit code is deprecated
• thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at 'internal error: entered unreachable code: No unsupported field should reach that path', query-engine\connectors\sql-query-connector\src\model_extensions\scalar_field.rs:70:44
• jsonProtocol: in argument of filter types does not accept scalars
• jsonProtocol should report errors as nicely as before
• Generated client with custom path containing string client: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\<projectpath>\node_modules\.prisma\client\schema.prisma
• Can't find the schema when the project path contains the same name as the generated client folder

Prisma Migrate

• Build all glibc Linux binaries with CentOS 7
• Remove Please create an issue ... in MigrateEngine.ts
• Do not introspect exclusion constraints as Gist indexes
• Introspection warnings: move rendering from DbPull.ts to the engine
• views: don't create local views folder on introspection if no views are found
• RelationMode autocomplete uses incorrect casing

Language tools (e.g. VS Code)

• Support for VSCode Region Marker Folding
