There are escape hatches, both for unsupported data types in the Prisma schema as well as raw SQL queries in Prisma. In fact, you can use PostGIS with this approach, we have an example for that here.

I would encourage you to give Prisma a try and see how it feels for you, the best way to get started is the Quickstart. We also have more comprehensive tutorials on our blog, e.g. for a fullstack app with Remix or REST API with NestJS. There also are a bunch of ready-to-run examples that you can explore on GitHub.

You can follow our Getting started guide or check out the ready-to-run MongoDB example to get started.

This will create a /prisma folder and a fresh schema for you to work with. If you aren't familiar with Prisma and its set of tools, definitely check out the docs! It's a powerful piece of software!

Prisma is a bit different than existing ORMs as it comes with its own data modeling language that's simple and intuitive, a migration system that makes it straightforward to change your DB schema, a fully type-safe DB client (with auto-completion even if you don't use TypeScript) and lots of other goodies like a modern data browser/editor, a CLI for common workflows, extensive documentation and examples.

I don't entirely understand how to properly set up prisma client, I've just copy pasted this example. Could that be causing any sort of issue?

If you would like to learn more about Prisma, check out the documentation and feel free to create an issue or start a discussion on GitHub.
