## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Prisma 7.6.0. Source highlight: Today, we are excited to share the `7.6.0` stable release 🎉

## New Features
- 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
- 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)
