You chose to compile with the bot. One moment while I piece together your answer… 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:

psql -d "your_new_database_url" < your_dump_file.sql

psql -d "your_new_database_url" < your_dump_file.sql

3. After importing the data, you can use Prisma's introspection feature to generate a Prisma schema based on the imported database structure:

npx prisma db pull

npx prisma db pull

4. Review and adjust the generated Prisma schema as needed. 5. Generate Prisma Client based on your schema:

npx prisma generate

npx prisma generate

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. A team member will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, please let us know any additional info, questions, or which parts of the answer may need clarification.

Hey @justchillgravgorfr 👋 The ability to import a database is coming very very soon! I'll ping you when it becomes available. At the moment there it is not possible to directly import a database from backup file.

@justchillgravgorfr You should be able to import it now. Here are the docs: https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/prisma-postgres/import-from-existing-database
