Shadow db with prisma

I'm trying to use Prisma with Planetscale, but Planetscale only has 1 db in the free tier and I need 2. Any recommendations for setting up a shadow db in tandem with Planetscale?

Oh I see, is there any resource about this? What do I use as the shadow db url in Prisma? I'll try tonight after work

Great, I'll take a look tonight I tried hacking this together last week and I remember that it was giving me some sort of error that led me to think I needed a shadow db I'll ping here when I open up the project again

I've had the same problem (when following theo's roundest project)

I've simply did prisma db push (https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-migrate/shadow-database)

About the shadow database

"If you are developing against a cloud-based database (for example, on Heroku) and are currently prototyping such that you don't care about generated migration files and only need to apply your Prisma data model to the database schema, you can run prisma db push instead of the prisma migrate dev command." still not sure what is a good way to handle it though 🤷 since we only have 2 db main/dev, and shadow generates a third temporary one for dev

@adiguno thank you so much! Were you able to complete the roundestmon?

adiguno•2y ago

np, I wasn't building roundest so I'm not sure if there's other catches ahead

npx prisma db push init

command Thank you!
