That's because the ORM cannot do a lot. Unless you're doing extremely simple SQL queries it will not handle what you want it to do. Now what? Drop into RAW sql and lose all type safety and you are on your own.
No thanks, I started using Prisma for https://listifi.app and switched it over to knex.js because the second I hit a query that Prisma couldn't handle I was on my own. Knex on the other hand could handle everything because it's a simple query builder.
