Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, there isn't a direct method described for migrating data from a Railway dump to a new Prisma Postgres database. However, I can provide some general guidance based on related information.
The process of migrating data from a dump file to a new database typically involves importing the SQL dump into your new database. While Prisma doesn't have a built-in feature for this specific use case, you might be able to use standard PostgreSQL tools to import the data.
Here's a general approach you could consider:
1. Set up your new Prisma Postgres database.
2. Use the
psql command-line tool to import your SQL dump into the new database. The command might look something like this:
3. After importing the data, you can use Prisma's introspection feature to generate a Prisma schema based on the imported database structure:
4. Review and adjust the generated Prisma schema as needed.
5. Generate Prisma Client based on your schema:
Please note that this is a general approach and might need adjustments based on your specific setup and requirements.
Given that you're experimenting with migrating data between databases, it might be helpful to reach out to the Prisma Team for more detailed guidance on best practices for data migration in your specific use case.🤔 Alright, thanks for letting us know that there's still some help needed.
