03/21/2018, 3:59 PMhey nilan, I was able to get it to work, but it requires me to provide an id field.
However, since im importing from MS SQL database, I dont have those ids generated yet. I was under an impression that prisma import will generate new nodes for me.
is there another mechanism for importing my data into prisma that I had missed?

03/21/2018, 4:05 PMawesome, can I use tsql-generated guids in place of prisma id's in the meantime?

03/21/2018, 4:16 PMalso, just wanted to say kudos to you guys for creating such an awesome product!
My dev team loves it, and we are getting tons of lift. Prisma came out just at the right time since we are rewriting our line of business app from scratch.
There are still some growing pains since it is so new, but you guys are doing an awesome job supporting it.
