can you generate prisma-client based on preexisting database thats not generated/migrated using prisma?

Hey Kay 👋🏻 You’re looking for this workflow https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/introspection#introspection-workflow You will run

prisma db pull

and then run

generate

Hey @Mahmoud Just a clarifying question when it says

2. Run prisma db pull to update the Prisma schema

Does this mean it will generate for me a set of models based on my existing database, so i don't need to write them out?

Yup. So your

schema.prisma

file will be updated for you

thanks!

You’re welcome! 😄

@Mahmoud Just a followup question regarding this, how do you connect to a view using the prisma client?

https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/database/advanced-database-tasks/sql-views-postgres this guide covers everything related to views
