Documentation is easy

[@wayslow]

Been using Prisma for a while. It's amazing, but has a few gotchas. Like "nested curly brace fatigue" is a real thing, it's easy to nest a few simple "wheres" to a few indentation levels so the whole code is unreadable. Migrations are also bit raw - you can't edit them and there's no rollback. They will also wipe anything from your dev db, like store procedures or extra tables... or data. On the plus side - I love that Prisma generates types for TS from the db, it's a great source of truth when playing a lot with DB design. Super important note - VS Code has much better support for editing schema than anything else.

[@andresribeiroo]

You can't rollback a migration, but if you want to edit one before running it you can pass the --create-only flag

[@RaZziaN1]

And generated SQL code is really slow, 10 times slower than linq with entity framework. In new version this issue will be addressed, but let's say prisma is still very young (though some people use this in prod)

[@KgfLikia]

@@andresribeiroo in laravel migrations you can.

The advantage of writing raw sql is that you can easily use db specific functionality and test the sql code separately. orms are fine for some projects, but the abstractions tend to be quite leaky, so their usefulness usually is limited. db migration tools are nice, though.

[@proosee]

I stick to the simple rule: ORMs for managing migrations and performing simple queries/updates, SQL for more complicated queries or operations. Some purist don't like it, but I will let them suffer in their own unmaintainable code.

[@morchedlafferty8614]

I used it lately along Postgres in an entreprise project, and dev experience was super great! Really recommend it!

[@haarTrick]

If I am understanding correctly, I don't need to use back-end endpoint? I can write directly to the database ?

[@TheQuinn50]

@@haarTrick always develop using a 3 layer system, never access the db directly from your frontend. Have a API or sever in-between so you can ensure proper source of truth

[@SirM0linarius]

@@haarTrick That is incorrect. Prisma does not work clientside, it runs in a Node environment (the Backend). You can however use a library like react-query or the framework blitzJS (highly recommended) to call backend code without having to write an api manually. In case of blitzJS the api is implemented automatically during the build step of your project.

[@morchedlafferty8614]

@@haarTrick in addition to the above comments, yes, you can also forward your queries from the frontend to the backend, but they are handled only through the backend.

Am I the only one who feels like a C++ in 100s should be done. There’s a lot of cool things modern C++ does and aims for that I think would interest a lot of developers and these videos are perfect recaps of languages/frameworks and their aims. Keep up the great work. This videos are always eye opening to new worlds as a developer.

I want to see a tutorial for Linux in C++ programming for writing and developing aerospace autonomous spacecraft software and robotics software engineering using R.O.S. (robotic operating system) just like SpaceX, Rocket Lab, NASA, Boeing, and Blue Origin. I tried to find any tutorial for aerospace software engineering in the Internet but there is none and is a bunch of impractical gibberish.

[@oraqlle]

@@shambhav9534 Absolutely 🤣

[@oraqlle]

@@Mnerd7368 Yeah, C++ has a very high ceiling of entry, not because it's necessarily hard to use (although much more boilerplate must be written) but because it such a different language to what is used to be and many tutorials use outdated practices or a mash of old and modern that makes code unreadable and don't actually showcase the new and powerful practices and methods the community and the standards committee have been working on to make C++ as powerful and diverse as it is. C++ written 10, 15 and 20+ years ago is not the same C++ you can and probably should write today.

[@penguindrummaster]

As a former database developer, it bugs me how much effort people put into avoiding working in the database. SQL was my first programming language, so maybe I'm a tad biased, but procedural coding is really straight forward, compared to worrying about how an ORM is managing your database underneath, and what if you have multiple teams working with multiple ORMs across different languages (Java, C#, JavaScript, etc.), which would result in a wide range of implementation standards for the backing database. Just seems like a lot of headache to avoid learning an extremely useful tool (SQL)

[@miguelklappes8525]

My thoughts exactly.

[@FoodElitist]

these tools are a big help for developers who maybe know JS well and do webdev, but have little to no CS knowledge (which imo includes knowing SQL).

[@dandogamer]

Orms are generally useful for CRUD kind of work or basic joins so you can focus more on other areas, for more complex work they tend to expose a query runner where you can utilise SQL directly to get the performance you need.

[@smrtysam]

[@ethanleo3365]

I use Prisma in one of my Express apps. What I like is that it has built in Typescript support and its features in which the most notable one to me is the introspection. I used to do raw queries until I came across Prisma and I realised that as compared to other ORM libraries where you can only carry out migrations, Introspection allows you to generate your models from your existing database schema. Apart from that the auto generated models give you one step ahead in allowing you to have interfaces that can be used for type assertion

[@FaceDevStuff]

These videos hit harder when you watch them with 1%

[@kataii]

This is exactly what I’m looking for. I love the handy tools ORM gives but we loose control on DB structure and have more learning curve to create schema with ORM’s method. I love tinkering on the DB directly instead of letting ORM to take over. Please please please have a full tutorial or a course for Prisma.

[@Fanoflix]

Prisma allows you to define your schema and then use that schema to create a Prisma migration; which is the "introspection" part in this video.

[@matthewaxisa6058]

I love ORMs like Prisma which can give type safety when you're working with the DB. However when working on big projects (especially those where multiple teams access the same DB from different application contexts) they cannot replace plain SQL for migrations. I would really like to see a 100 seconds (and beyond) where your showcase tools to manage database migrations.

[@seandemers8147]

A cool thing could be 'flyway' in 100 seconds. It's a database versioning tool.

[@juliansoto2651]

All ORMs are shitty by their own nature.

[@markeyboi6545]

Same, I used TypeORM and Sequelize and ended up with Prisma because TypeORM isn't maintained (just look at the git issues and the maintainer refuses to fix basic stuff) and Sequelize wasn't advanced/flexible enough for my use case.

[@TheOriginalJohnDoe]

@@VenelinManchev it’s not maintained that well, and you can’t write complex queries, plus there are tons of bugs, like incorrect results being returned or not being able to do a certain advanced query so you have to do a raw query. There are also performance issues.

[@Dude29]

This looks great! Especially the migrations part Does it also work with SQLite?

[@pandasitt7417]

From my experience, an ORM (code first) is not a replacement for actually leaning SQL. You still should think relational, the code and migrations just add a layer of abstraction which makes that part harder and the DB schema messy. As soon as the migration gets a bit more complex, the ORM framework can't handle it, and it's back to SQL queries. Why not just lean MySQL, it's a good entry point?

[@ameerashhab6721]

Agreed. ORMs prevent people from learning SQL.

[@salat_32]

Absolutely agree. There is no point to try and distance yourself from sql

[@StellaEFZ]

SQL is so fun and easy, it's almost literally english.

[@chad404]

​@@salat_32 learning sql to understand which queries will run optimally and how to build a schema is important but that doesn't mean this kind of tool isn't useful for simple use cases like an online store. it looks like there's an sql cult in the replies.

[@kaosce]

Absolutly not. I learned SQL first but now I use the Django ORM professionally for 5 years and I have never needed to use raw SQL, even for complex queries or Postgre specific (like ST_* methods) ORMs should be seen as compiler and I dare you to outsmart C++ compilers and write binary yourself

1:38 to be honest, complexity looks the same between prisma's syntax and sql for creating tables and indexes. Probably worse because know you'll need to know two syntaxes, instead of just sql. For a more "traditional" approach, the other mentioned lib, sequelize, is pretty great. It has a migration engine built into its cli tool and you can defined tables with objects, no need to go to the OOP route 👌 Awesome video nonetheless!

[@Prettypurplepineaple]

You can still use Prisma seamlessly if you prefer to create tables and/or migrations directly using SQL. The introspection feature will generate the prisma schema file for you based on the current state of your database.
