# Prisma Schema Migrator

Automates Prisma ORM schema evolution and migration planning using prisma migrate and prisma db commands. Validates schema changes against existing data with dry-run introspection via prisma db pull.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npx prisma dev
- npx create-db --interactive
- npm install prisma --save-dev
- npm install @prisma/client

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- [**Prisma Client**](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-client): Auto-generated and type-safe query builder for Node.js & TypeScript
- Prisma Client can be used in _any_ Node.js or TypeScript backend application (including serverless applications and microservices). This can be a [REST API](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/overview/prisma-in-your-...
- To start a local PostgreSQL development server without using Docker and without any configuration, run prisma dev:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- The fastest way to get started with Prisma is by following the quickstart guides. You can choose either of two databases:
- [Prisma Postgres](https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/prisma-orm/quickstart/prisma-postgres)
- [SQLite](https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/prisma-orm/quickstart/sqlite)
