Prisma Postgres Using psycopg2
Hello everyone,
I urgently need assistance with an implementation issue. As a beginner working with Prisma and PostgreSQL, I am currently experimenting with various approaches. I am unclear whether it is possible to integrate Prisma with the psycopg2 Python library for interacting with a PostgreSQL database hosted on Prisma Postgres. Could someone please provide guidance or point me toward relevant documentation?
Thank you for your help.

I apologize, but I cannot provide a direct answer to your question based on the given knowledge sources. The information provided does not contain specific details about using Prisma with psycopg2 or Python libraries in general.
However, I can offer some relevant information based on the available sources:
1. Prisma primarily supports JavaScript/TypeScript environments. There is no official Python client for Prisma mentioned in the provided documentation.
2. Prisma does offer a PostgreSQL connector, but it's designed to work with Prisma ORM in a JavaScript/TypeScript context PostgreSQL.
3. For JavaScript/TypeScript projects, Prisma supports using the
node-postgres (pg) driver with a driver adapter PostgreSQL.
4. There has been some discussion about developing a Python client for Prisma, but it's not clear if this has been implemented Github Issue (closed): Explore ideas for a Python client š > Comments Part 2.
Given this information, it seems that using Prisma with psycopg2 in Python is not a standard or documented approach. If you're working in a Python environment, you might need to consider alternative ORMs or database libraries that are designed for Python and PostgreSQL integration.
For working with Prisma Postgres specifically, you would typically use Prisma ORM in a JavaScript/TypeScript environment. If you need to stick with Python, you might want to explore other Python-specific solutions for interacting with PostgreSQL databases.
š¤ 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 š
I haven't worked with psycopg2 library, but it should ideally work.
Are you running into any specific issues?
I am unsure how to establish the connection. Prisma provides a connection string that includes an API key, whereas psycopg2 does not support API key-based connections.
To connect using psycopg2, I need the following database credentials:
DB_NAME = "your_database"
DB_USER = "your_user"
DB_PASSWORD = "your_password"
DB_HOST = "host"
DB_PORT = "port"
Ah, I get your point now.
You are looking for a direct TCP connection, which is planned.
Currently, you can use @prisma/ppg-tunnel to get these details, which you can then use to connect.
See this section:
https://www.prisma.io/docs/postgres/tooling#connecting-to-prisma-postgres-instance-with-3rd-party-database-editors
Based on this example, host would be localhost, port would be the one you get by running @prisma/ppg-tunnel. database name would be postgres. user and password can be empty as authentication is done via tunnel
Thank you so much Nurul š .
Let me try this.
