Prisma ORM 7 interactive transactions isolationLevel MySQL default isolation P2034 serializable retry documentation
💡 Result:
In Prisma ORM, you can specify an isolation level for interactive transactions using the isolationLevel option within the second parameter of the prisma.$transaction method [1][2]. For MySQL databases, the default transaction isolation level is RepeatableRead [1][2]. When you explicitly set an isolation level (e.g., to Serializable) via Prisma, it uses the database's native transaction configuration to apply that level [1][3]. When using higher isolation levels like Serializable, transactions may fail due to write conflicts or deadlocks [4]. In these cases, Prisma ORM throws a specific error with code P2034, which is defined as: "Transaction failed due to a write conflict or a deadlock. Please retry your transaction" [5][4][6]. Prisma does not provide a built-in automatic retry mechanism for these errors, so you must implement your own retry logic (e.g., using a loop) to catch the P2034 error and re-execute the transaction [4][7]. Example of implementing a retry loop: async function runTransactionWithRetry(prisma, operations) { const MAX_RETRIES = 5; let retries = 0; while (retries < MAX_RETRIES) { try { return await prisma.$transaction( async (tx) => { // Perform your operations here }, { isolationLevel: Prisma.TransactionIsolationLevel.Serializable, }); } catch (error) { if (error.code === 'P2034') { retries++; continue; // Retry the transaction } throw error; } } throw new Error('Transaction failed after maximum retries'); }

Prisma PlanetScale adapter interactive transaction isolation level support MySQL transaction default isolation
💡 Result:
Prisma supports interactive transactions (iTx) with the PlanetScale adapter, including the ability to specify transaction isolation levels [1][2]. Prisma's PlanetScale adapter facilitates this by utilizing a TransactionContext, which ensures that commands such as setting the isolation level are correctly executed on the same connection context prior to the start of the transaction [2][3]. When you provide the isolationLevel option to a Prisma transaction, the adapter handles the underlying SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL command appropriately [1][2]. Regarding default isolation levels: - The default isolation level for MySQL (and by extension, the underlying InnoDB engine used by PlanetScale) is REPEATABLE READ [4][5][6]. - While Prisma generally defaults to the isolation level currently configured in your database, you can override this for specific transactions by using the isolationLevel parameter (e.g., Prisma.TransactionIsolationLevel.Serializable) [1]. Important Considerations: - PlanetScale operates as a distributed database and has specific system limits, including a per-transaction timeout (typically 20 seconds) [7]. Transactions that exceed this limit will be aborted [7]. - Although you can set isolation levels, be aware that higher levels like SERIALIZABLE can increase the risk of deadlocks and contention, especially in distributed environments [4][5]. It is generally recommended to use the default REPEATABLE READ level unless there is a specific, well-measured reason to change it [5].

Set concurrency control for the read-modify-write operation.
MySQL defaults to RepeatableRead, and transactionOptions does not override isolation. Concurrent requests can read the same JSON array, then overwrite each other’s likes with the later full-array update.
Use Serializable isolation with bounded P2034 retries, or use a connector-supported locking or conditional update. Add a Promise.all concurrency test that checks all distinct likes persist and likeCount equals the array length.
