Hey there, Nikolas from Prisma here! If I continue to build my DB architecture directly in the db, is the Prisma db pull a reliable method to keep my Prisma schema up to date and accurate so I can get the typing's? This is definitely a valid approach! I think a lot of people prefer writing their own migrations (using whatever tool they prefer for that) and then use Prisma's introspection to update their Prisma schema — the main thing to be aware of with that workflow is that you need to run npx prisma generate after each introspection run to make sure the generated Prisma Client types and API get updated.

What is introspection? (Reference) | Prisma Documentation
Running prisma db pull for relational databases with an existing Prisma Schema merges manual changes made to the schema, with changes made in the database. For MongoDB, Introspection for now is meant to be done only once for the initial data model.

r/node on Reddit: Is Prisma DB Pull reliable?
August 14, 2023 -
My backend is a fastify/Prisma to a PostgreSQL DB, I am much more comfortable with building my DB tables and constraints (PK, FK, etc) via SQL rather than Prisma's relationships schema.
My question is: If I continue to build my DB architecture directly in the db, is the Prisma db pull a reliable method to keep my Prisma schema up to date and accurate so I can get the typing's?
I just am able to comprehend and explain the relationship much better via SQL rather than via the model references.

Why then use Prisma at all? Just use any query builder if you like pure SQL. The other issue is that now you also need to handle the migrations by yourself. Maybe you should consider an ORM like TypeORM?

I had a similar issue once and a quick check confirmed for me that it was the lack of security permissions granted for prisma on new table in the database itself.
Try this:
- Note the name of the database user that Prisma connects to the database with. You'll likely find this via your schema.prisma file, or perhaps via a
DATABASE_URLconfig setting in the related.envfile if you're using that with prisma. - Go into the database itself and ensure that database user which Prisma connects with has been granted sufficient security privileges to that new table. (note: what 'sufficient' is I cannot say since it depends on your own needs. At a guess, I'd say at least 'select' permission would be needed.)
- Once you've ensure that user has sufficient privileges, try running a
prisma db pullcommand once again.
For reference, another thing you could do is:
- cross-check against one of the other tables that is already in your database that works correctly with prisma.
- compare the security privileges of that old table with the security privileges of the new table and see if there are any differences.

If you use supabase and running this command and it returns something like this 'The following models were commented out because we couldn't retrieve columns for them. Please check your privileges.' or something similar regarding privileges, the solution is to go to your SQL editor from supabase and put this command and execute it
