08/26/2020, 1:58 PMHello all, Won't prisma introspect work on database with no tables?. Does that mean everytime I should create a dummy table on new database with no data?

Hey @Jayanth 👋 Introspection indeed reads a database schema and translates it into a Prisma schema, that's the entire point of this functionality so running introspection without any tables doesn't really make sense 🙂

Can I ask what you're trying to achieve? Maybe you have some misconceptions about the Prisma workflows? I think this page in the docs might also be helpful: https://www.prisma.io/docs/understand-prisma/introduction

08/26/2020, 2:05 PM@nikolasburk I am new to prisma please bare with me. In prisma 1 all I have to do is change datamodel and then run prisma generate. Here I am not sure how to achieve that.

Maybe you're looking for Prisma Migrate which creates your database tables that correspond to your Prisma models? To get started, I'd rcommend that you check out this guide: https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/setup-prisma/start-from-scratch-prisma-migrate-typescript-postgres 🙂
