## CRUD Operations

### Create

```typescript
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

// Einzelner Datensatz
const user = await prisma.user.create({
  data: {
    email: 'alice@example.com',
    name: 'Alice',
    // Nested Create
    profile: {
      create: {
        bio: 'Developer from Berlin'
      }
    },
    posts: {
      create: [
        { title: 'First Post' },
        { title: 'Second Post' }
      ]
    }
  },
  include: {
    profile: true,
    posts: true
  }
});

// Mehrere Datensätze
const { count } = await prisma.user.createMany({
  data: [
    { email: 'bob@example.com', name: 'Bob' },
    { email: 'carol@example.com', name: 'Carol' }
  ],
  skipDuplicates: true
});
```

### Read

```typescript
// Einzelner Datensatz
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { email: 'alice@example.com' }
});

// Mit Relations
const userWithPosts = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { id: userId },
  include: {
    posts: {
      where: { published: true },
      orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
      take: 5
    },
    profile: true
  }
});

// Nur bestimmte Felder
const userBasic = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { id: userId },
  select: {
    id: true,
    name: true,
    email: true
  }
});

// Liste mit Filter
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  where: {
    role: 'USER',
    email: {
      contains: '@example.com'
    },
    posts: {
      some: {
        published: true
      }
    }
  },
  orderBy: [
    { role: 'asc' },
    { name: 'asc' }
  ],
  skip: 0,
  take: 10
});
```

### Update

```typescript
// Einzelner Datensatz
const updatedUser = await prisma.user.update({
  where: { id: userId },
  data: {
    name: 'Alice Updated',
    // Nested Update
    profile: {
      update: {
        bio: 'Senior Developer from Berlin'
      }
    }
  }
});

// Upsert (Create or Update)
const user = await prisma.user.upsert({
  where: { email: 'alice@example.com' },
  update: { name: 'Alice' },
  create: {
    email: 'alice@example.com',
    name: 'Alice'
  }
});

// Mehrere aktualisieren
const { count } = await prisma.user.updateMany({
  where: {
    role: 'USER',
    createdAt: {
      lt: new Date('2024-01-01')
    }
  },
  data: {
    role: 'MODERATOR'
  }
});
```

### Delete

```typescript
// Einzelner Datensatz
const deletedUser = await prisma.user.delete({
  where: { id: userId }
});

// Mehrere Datensätze
const { count } = await prisma.user.deleteMany({
  where: {
    posts: {
      none: {}
    },
    createdAt: {
      lt: new Date('2023-01-01')
    }
  }
});
```

## Erweiterte Queries

### Aggregations

```typescript
// Count
const userCount = await prisma.user.count({
  where: { role: 'USER' }
});

// Aggregate
const stats = await prisma.post.aggregate({
  _count: { id: true },
  _avg: { viewCount: true },
  _sum: { viewCount: true },
  _min: { createdAt: true },
  _max: { createdAt: true }
});

// Group By
const postsByAuthor = await prisma.post.groupBy({
  by: ['authorId'],
  _count: { id: true },
  _sum: { viewCount: true },
  having: {
    id: {
      _count: {
        gt: 5
      }
    }
  },
  orderBy: {
    _count: {
      id: 'desc'
    }
  }
});
```

### Raw SQL

```typescript
// Raw Query
const users = await prisma.$queryRaw<User[]>`
  SELECT * FROM "User"
  WHERE email LIKE ${'%@example.com'}
  ORDER BY "createdAt" DESC
`;

// Raw Execute
const result = await prisma.$executeRaw`
  UPDATE "User"
  SET "lastLogin" = NOW()
  WHERE id = ${userId}
`;

// Mit TypedSQL (Prisma 7.1+)
import { sql } from '@prisma/client/sql';

const activeUsers = await prisma.$queryRawTyped(
  sql`SELECT * FROM "User" WHERE "isActive" = true`
);
```

### Transactions

```typescript
// Interactive Transaction
const result = await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
  // Guthaben abziehen
  const sender = await tx.account.update({
    where: { id: senderId },
    data: { balance: { decrement: amount } }
  });

  if (sender.balance < 0) {
    throw new Error('Insufficient funds');
  }

  // Guthaben hinzufügen
  const receiver = await tx.account.update({
    where: { id: receiverId },
    data: { balance: { increment: amount } }
  });

  return { sender, receiver };
}, {
  isolationLevel: 'Serializable',
  timeout: 10000
});

// Sequential Operations (Batch)
const [users, posts] = await prisma.$transaction([
  prisma.user.findMany(),
  prisma.post.findMany({ where: { published: true } })
]);
```

## Type-Safety Features

### Prisma 7 Typed Improvements

```typescript
// 98% weniger Types bei Schema-Evaluation
// 45% weniger Types bei Query-Evaluation
// 70% schnelleres Type-Checking

// Full Type Safety
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { id: userId },
  include: { posts: true }
});

// user ist typisiert als:
// {
//   id: string;
//   email: string;
//   name: string | null;
//   role: Role;
//   posts: Post[];
//   ...
// } | null

// Conditional Include Typing
const userMaybeWithPosts = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { id: userId },
  include: includePosts ? { posts: true } : undefined
});
// Typ reflektiert die Bedingung
```

### Validierung mit Zod

```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';
import { Prisma } from '@prisma/client';

// Schema aus Prisma Types ableiten
const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().min(2).optional(),
  role: z.enum(['USER', 'ADMIN', 'MODERATOR']).default('USER')
}) satisfies z.Schema<Prisma.UserCreateInput>;

// Validierung vor DB-Operation
async function createUser(input: unknown) {
  const data = CreateUserSchema.parse(input);
  return prisma.user.create({ data });
}
```

---

## SQL Comments (Prisma 7.1)

```typescript
// Observability und Debugging
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  // Diese Informationen erscheinen als SQL-Kommentar
  // für besseres Tracing
}).$extends({
  query: {
    $allOperations({ operation, args, query }) {
      return query(args);
    }
  }
});

// Generiertes SQL:
// /* prisma:client,user.findMany,requestId:abc123 */
// SELECT * FROM "User"
```

---

## Serverless & Edge Optimierung

```typescript
// Für Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, etc.
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client/edge';
import { withAccelerate } from '@prisma/extension-accelerate';

const prisma = new PrismaClient().$extends(withAccelerate());

// Connection Pooling via Prisma Accelerate
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  cacheStrategy: {
    ttl: 60,    // Cache für 60 Sekunden
    swr: 300    // Stale-While-Revalidate für 5 Minuten
  }
});
```

---

## Migration & Deployment

```bash
# Schema-Änderungen als Migration
npx prisma migrate dev --name add_user_role

# Production Deployment
npx prisma migrate deploy

# Client generieren
npx prisma generate

# Datenbank seeden
npx prisma db seed

# Studio (Daten-Browser)
npx prisma studio
```

### Seed Script

```typescript
// prisma/seed.ts
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

async function main() {
  // Admin User
  await prisma.user.upsert({
    where: { email: 'admin@example.com' },
    update: {},
    create: {
      email: 'admin@example.com',
      name: 'Admin',
      role: 'ADMIN'
    }
  });

  // Categories
  const categories = ['Technology', 'Design', 'Business'];
  for (const name of categories) {
    await prisma.category.upsert({
      where: { name },
      update: {},
      create: { name }
    });
  }
}

main()
  .catch(console.error)
  .finally(() => prisma.$disconnect());
```

## Fazit

Prisma 7 bringt:

1. **90% kleinere Bundles**: Perfekt für Serverless
2. **3x schnellere Queries**: Besonders bei großen Datasets
3. **Bessere Type-Safety**: 70% schnelleres Type-Checking
4. **SQL Comments**: Verbessertes Debugging

Der Rust-zu-TypeScript-Rewrite macht Prisma schneller, kleiner und besser wartbar.
