[ancient lark]

[vestal vector]

where have you set the database credentials for local use?

[vestal vector]

Postgres if i understood your question correctly

[ancient lark]

where have you set the database url variable so that you can use it locally

[vestal vector]

in .env file

DATABASE_URL = "the url"

[ancient lark]

is prisma setup to load the variables from that .env file?

[vestal vector]

datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

in the file schema.prisma

seems counfusing dosen`t it ?

[ancient lark]

but are the variables in your .env file being loaded before running the migrations

[vestal vector]

idk how can ensure that?

[ancient lark]

that would be a question for prisma's documentation

and side question, can you connect to the database on railway with something like dbgate?

[vestal vector]

you think the problem lies in prisma configuration ?

[vestal vector]

and what is even that

[ancient lark]

a database client

[vestal vector]

damn i`m too noob

[ancient lark]

no worries we all start somewhere

[vestal vector]

you got me emmotinal bro

[vestal vector]

for that i got no answer becuz everbody working with prisma so ii just follow it

[ancient lark]

have you tried connecting to the database with dbgate yet?

[vestal vector]

no where can ii learn that

i have no experince in back-end what so ever

[ancient lark]

we all start somewhere but you can start by googling for dbgate 😉

don't overthink this

[vestal vector]

ok if you would give me easy tools to get me up and running with next js what would that be ?

[ancient lark]

please try connecting to your railway database with dbgate

[vestal vector]

thanks i`ll see to it
