Missing pg_vector support limits vector database integration

6/10 Medium

Prisma lacks native support for PostgreSQL's pg_vector extension, forcing developers to either use raw queries (losing type safety) or unsupported type declarations with no query generation support.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Prisma for developers in 2025?”4/4/2026

Raw Queries and typed sql do not really help here, because you then give up a lot of prisma's DX. Ideally prisma would not only allow you to declare Unsupported- db types in the schema but also provide a way to influence the query that is generated if you use such a type.
