✨ New Features & Capabilities (4)
- Added a `prisma postgres link` command that connects a local project to a Prisma Postgres database. This is the first command in a new `prisma postgres` command group for managing Prisma Postgres databases directly from the CLI. (#29352)
- **@prisma/adapter-pg**: Added a `statementNameGenerator` option that accepts a custom prepared statement name generator to allow users to leverage `pg` statement caching (#29395)
- **@prisma/adapter-pg**: Added support for usage of connection strings directly in the constructor for improved ergonomics (#29287)
- **@prisma/adapter-mariadb**: Added a `useTextProtocol` option in the constructor to toggle between text and binary protocols (#29392)
🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (6)
- Disabled caching of `createMany` queries to avoid cache bloat and potential Node.js crashes in bulk operations (#29382)
- Made `NowGenerator` lazy to avoid synchronous `new Date()` calls, fixing Next.js "dynamic usage" errors in cached components (#28724)
- Fixed missing export of `Get<Model>GroupByPayload` type in the new `prisma-client` generator, making it accessible for TypeScript usage (#29346)
- Added streaming parsing with automatic fallback to handle Prisma schemas that produce extremely large intermediate strings (>500MB) that hit V8's string limits (#29377)
- **@prisma/adapter-pg**: Relaxed the `@types/pg` version constraint to `^8.16.0` for compatibility with newer PostgreSQL type definitions (#29390)
- **@prisma/adapter-pg**: Corrected error handling for `ColumnNotFound` errors to correctly extract column names from both quoted and unquoted PostgreSQL error messages (#29307)

## Prisma Studio
We’re continuing our work to improve Prisma Studio with more features being added.
**Dark Mode**
Need we say more? You’ve all asked for it, and it’s back.

**Copy as markdown**
Now, you can copy one or more rows as either CSV or Markdown

**Multi-cell editing**
This is big one, something that folks have been asking for. Now, it’s possible to edit multiple cells while inspecting your database. If you make any changes, you’ll be prompted to either save or discard them. This makes manually adding new rows much easier to accomplish.
**Back relations**
If your data references another table, Prisma Studio now links to the related records, making it easy to inspect them. This makes traversing your database much simpler.

**Generative SQL with AI**
If you need to inspect your database, instead of manually writing the SQL you may need, you can use natural language and AI to generate the appropriate SQL statements.
