Best Practices
Queries:
✓ Use select to fetch only needed fields
✓ Paginate large result sets
✓ Use cursor-based pagination for stability
✓ Index frequently queried columns
Transactions:
✓ Use interactive transactions
✓ Keep transactions short
✓ Handle rollback scenarios
✓ Set appropriate timeouts
Performance:
✓ Enable query logging in development
✓ Use createMany for bulk inserts
✓ Avoid N+1 with include/select
✓ Use raw SQL for complex analytics
Conclusion
Prisma's query API handles most use cases with type safety. For complex scenarios, use raw SQL while still benefiting from Prisma's type system. Master transactions for data integrity, use middleware for cross-cutting concerns, and optimize queries with proper select/include usage.
