Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Yes, the current version of Prisma (version 4) lacks some of the newer features and optimizations introduced in version 5. Upgrading to Prisma version 5 would address these limitations and provide better performance and functionality for our application.

Describe the feature you'd like

I propose upgrading our provider database ORM from Prisma version 4 to Prisma version 5 to harness significant benefits, including improved performance, enhanced features, and access to bug fixes and security updates. While this transition may involve migration efforts, ensuring compatibility with third-party components, and a learning curve for the team, the advantages of having a more efficient, feature-rich, and well-maintained ORM make it a worthwhile investment for our application's future stability and functionality.

Teachability, documentation, adoption, migration strategy

This feature request aims to upgrade Prisma to version 5, primarily motivated by alignment with other applications already utilizing Prisma 5. The upgrade will enhance compatibility, security, and performance while allowing for the adoption of new features and improvements. By migrating to Prisma 5, we expect to benefit from its enhanced capabilities and ensure consistency across our projects. The potential drawback is the need for code adjustments and data migration to accommodate changes in the Prisma 5 schema, but the long-term advantages outweigh this effort, making it a valuable upgrade for our provider.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

The motivation for upgrading to Prisma 5 lies in aligning our provider with modern best practices and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in Prisma's ecosystem. Prisma 5 offers various improvements, including enhanced TypeScript support, better query performance, and new features like Prisma Client 2.0. By adopting Prisma 5, we aim to improve our application's maintainability, developer experience, and security while ensuring that we can leverage the latest features and optimizations offered by Prisma. This upgrade will also enable us to benefit from the ongoing support and community contributions for Prisma 5, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our project.
