After using prisma on a few projects I would now rather abstain from using it. When there are type problems the error output is nigh unreadable. And as thos article indicates they seem to be more concerned about expanding their product line than fixing old issues (no multi insert statement). A bare bones way to generate types from SQL (readable types mind you) is a more fruitful path to explore imo
