drizzle-orm-d1（Drizzle ORM D1 测试）

Drizzle ORM for Cloudflare D1

Status: Production Ready ✅ Last Updated: 2026-02-03

Commands

Quick Start (5 Minutes)

# 1. Install
npm install drizzle-orm
npm install -D drizzle-kit

# 2. Configure drizzle.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit';
export default defineConfig({
  schema: './src/db/schema.ts',
  out: './migrations',
  dialect: 'sqlite',
  driver: 'd1-http',
  dbCredentials: {
    accountId: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID!,
    databaseId: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_DATABASE_ID!,
    token: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_D1_TOKEN!,
  },
});

# 3. Configure wrangler.jsonc
{
  "d1_databases": [{
    "binding": "DB",
    "database_name": "my-database",
    "database_id": "your-database-id",
    "migrations_dir": "./migrations"  // CRITICAL: Points to Drizzle migrations
  }]
}

# 4. Define schema (src/db/schema.ts)
import { sqliteTable, text, integer } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core';
export const users = sqliteTable('users', {
  id: integer('id').primaryKey({ autoIncrement: true }),
  email: text('email').notNull().unique(),
  createdAt: integer('created_at', { mode: 'timestamp' }).$defaultFn(() => new Date()),
});

# 5. Generate & apply migrations
npx drizzle-kit generate
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply my-database --local   # Test first
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply my-database --remote  # Then production

# 6. Query in Worker
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/d1';
import { users } from './db/schema';
const db = drizzle(env.DB);
const allUsers = await db.select().from(users).all();

D1-Specific Critical Rules

✅ Use db.batch() for transactions - D1 doesn't support SQL BEGIN/COMMIT (see Issue #1) ✅ Test migrations locally first - Always --local before --remote ✅ Use integer with mode: 'timestamp' for dates - D1 has no native date type ✅ Use .$defaultFn() for dynamic defaults - Not .default() for functions ✅ Set migrations_dir in wrangler.jsonc - Points to ./migrations

❌ Never use SQL BEGIN TRANSACTION - D1 requires batch API ❌ Never use drizzle-kit push for production - Use generate + apply ❌ Never mix wrangler.toml and wrangler.jsonc - Use wrangler.jsonc only

Drizzle Kit Tools

Drizzle Studio (Visual Database Browser)

npx drizzle-kit studio
# Opens http://local.drizzle.studio

# For remote D1 database
npx drizzle-kit studio --port 3001

Features:

• Browse tables and data visually
• Edit records inline
• Run custom SQL queries
• View schema relationships

Migration Commands

# Introspect existing D1 database
npx drizzle-kit pull

# Validate migrations haven't collided
npx drizzle-kit check

Advanced Query Patterns

Dynamic Query Building

Build queries conditionally with .$dynamic():

import { eq, and, or, like, sql } from 'drizzle-orm';

// Base query
function getUsers(filters: { name?: string; email?: string; active?: boolean }) {
  let query = db.select().from(users).$dynamic();

  if (filters.name) {
    query = query.where(like(users.name, `%${filters.name}%`));
  }
  if (filters.email) {
    query = query.where(eq(users.email, filters.email));
  }
  if (filters.active !== undefined) {
    query = query.where(eq(users.active, filters.active));
  }

  return query;
}

// Usage
const results = await getUsers({ name: 'John', active: true });

Upsert (Insert or Update on Conflict)

import { users } from './schema';

// Insert or ignore if exists
await db.insert(users)
  .values({ id: 1, email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test' })
  .onConflictDoNothing();

// Insert or update specific fields on conflict
await db.insert(users)
  .values({ id: 1, email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test' })
  .onConflictDoUpdate({
    target: users.email,  // Conflict on unique email
    set: {
      name: sql`excluded.name`,  // Use value from INSERT
      updatedAt: new Date(),
    },
  });

⚠️ D1 Upsert Caveat: Target must be a unique column or primary key.

Debugging with Logging

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/d1';

// Enable query logging
const db = drizzle(env.DB, { logger: true });

// Custom logger
const db = drizzle(env.DB, {
  logger: {
    logQuery(query, params) {
      console.log('SQL:', query);
      console.log('Params:', params);
    },
  },
});

// Get SQL without executing (for debugging)
const query = db.select().from(users).where(eq(users.id, 1));
const sql = query.toSQL();
console.log(sql.sql, sql.params);

Known Issues Prevention

This skill prevents 18 documented issues:

Issue #1: D1 Transaction Errors

Error: D1_ERROR: Cannot use BEGIN TRANSACTION Source: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/4212 Why: Drizzle uses SQL BEGIN TRANSACTION, but D1 requires batch API instead. Prevention: Use db.batch([...]) instead of db.transaction()

Issue #2: Foreign Key Constraint Failures

Error: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed: SQLITE_CONSTRAINT Source: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/4089 Why: Drizzle uses PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF; which causes migration failures. Prevention: Define foreign keys with cascading: .references(() => users.id, {onDelete: 'cascade'})

Issue #3: Module Import Errors in Production

Error: Error: No such module "wrangler" Source: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/4257 Why: Importing from wrangler package in runtime code fails in production. Prevention: Use import {drizzle} from 'drizzle-orm/d1', never import from wrangler

Issue #4: D1 Binding Not Found

Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'prepare' of undefined Why: Binding name in code doesn't match wrangler.jsonc configuration. Prevention: Ensure "binding": "DB" in wrangler.jsonc matches env.DB in code

Issue #5: Migration Apply Failures

Error: Migration failed to apply: near "...": syntax error Why: Syntax errors or applying migrations out of order. Prevention: Test locally first (--local), review generated SQL, regenerate if needed

Issue #6: Schema TypeScript Inference Errors

Error: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite Why: Complex circular references in relations. Prevention: Use explicit types with InferSelectModel<typeof users>

Issue #7: Prepared Statement Caching Issues

Error: Stale or incorrect query results Why: D1 doesn't cache prepared statements like traditional SQLite. Prevention: Always use .all() or .get() methods, don't reuse statements across requests

Issue #8: Transaction Rollback Patterns

Error: Transaction doesn't roll back on error Why: D1 batch API doesn't support traditional rollback. Prevention: Implement error handling with manual cleanup in try/catch

Issue #9: TypeScript Strict Mode Errors

Error: Type errors with strict: true Why: Drizzle types can be loose. Prevention: Use explicit return types: Promise<User | undefined>

Issue #10: Drizzle Config Not Found

Error: Cannot find drizzle.config.ts Why: Wrong file location or name. Prevention: File must be drizzle.config.ts in project root

Issue #11: Remote vs Local D1 Confusion

Error: Changes not appearing in dev or production Why: Applying migrations to wrong database. Prevention: Use --local for dev, --remote for production

Issue #12: wrangler.toml vs wrangler.jsonc

Error: Configuration not recognized Why: Mixing TOML and JSON formats. Prevention: Use wrangler.jsonc consistently (supports comments)

Issue #13: D1 100-Parameter Limit in Bulk Inserts

Error: too many SQL variables at offset Source: drizzle-orm#2479, Cloudflare D1 Limits Why It Happens: Cloudflare D1 has a hard limit of 100 bound parameters per query. When inserting multiple rows, Drizzle doesn't automatically chunk. If (rows × columns) > 100, the query fails. Prevention: Use manual chunking or autochunk pattern

Example - When It Fails:

// 35 rows × 3 columns = 105 parameters → FAILS
const books = Array(35).fill({}).map((_, i) => ({
  id: i.toString(),
  title: "Book",
  author: "Author",
}));

await db.insert(schema.books).values(books);
// Error: too many SQL variables at offset

Solution - Manual Chunking:

async function batchInsert<T>(
  db: any,
  table: any,
  items: T[],
  chunkSize = 32
) {
  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += chunkSize) {
    await db.insert(table).values(items.slice(i, i + chunkSize));
  }
}

await batchInsert(db, schema.books, books);

Solution - Auto-Chunk by Column Count:

const D1_MAX_PARAMETERS = 100;

async function autochunk<T extends Record<string, unknown>, U>(
  { items, otherParametersCount = 0 }: {
    items: T[];
    otherParametersCount?: number;
  },
  cb: (chunk: T[]) => Promise<U>,
) {
  const chunks: T[][] = [];
  let chunk: T[] = [];
  let chunkParameters = 0;

  for (const item of items) {
    const itemParameters = Object.keys(item).length;

    if (chunkParameters + itemParameters + otherParametersCount > D1_MAX_PARAMETERS) {
      chunks.push(chunk);
      chunkParameters = itemParameters;
      chunk = [item];
      continue;
    }

    chunk.push(item);
    chunkParameters += itemParameters;
  }

  if (chunk.length) chunks.push(chunk);

  const results: U[] = [];
  for (const c of chunks) {
    results.push(await cb(c));
  }

  return results.flat();
}

// Usage
const inserted = await autochunk(
  { items: books },
  (chunk) => db.insert(schema.books).values(chunk).returning()
);

Note: This also affects drizzle-seed. Use seed(db, schema, {count: 10}) to limit seed size.

Issue #14: findFirst with Batch API Returns Error Instead of Undefined

Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0') Source: drizzle-orm#2721 Why It Happens: When using findFirst in a batch operation with D1, if no results are found, Drizzle throws a TypeError instead of returning null or undefined. This breaks error handling patterns that expect falsy return values. Prevention: Use pnpm patch to fix the D1 session handler, or avoid findFirst in batch operations

Example - When It Fails:

// Works fine - returns null/undefined when not found
const result = await db.query.table.findFirst({
  where: eq(schema.table.key, 'not-existing'),
});

// Throws TypeError instead of returning undefined
const [result] = await db.batch([
  db.query.table.findFirst({
    where: eq(schema.table.key, 'not-existing'),
  }),
]);
// Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

Solution - Patch drizzle-orm:

# Create patch with pnpm
pnpm patch drizzle-orm

Then edit node_modules/drizzle-orm/d1/session.js:

// In mapGetResult method, add null check:
if (!result) {
  return undefined;
}
if (this.customResultMapper) {
  return this.customResultMapper([result]);
}

Workaround - Avoid findFirst in Batch:

// Instead of batch with findFirst, use separate queries
const result = await db.query.table.findFirst({
  where: eq(schema.table.key, key),
});

Issue #15: D1 Generated Columns Not Supported

Error: No schema API for generated columns Source: drizzle-orm#4538, D1 Generated Columns Why It Happens: Cloudflare D1 supports generated columns for extracting/calculating values from JSON or other columns, which can dramatically improve query performance when indexed. Drizzle ORM doesn't have a schema API to define these columns, forcing users to write raw SQL. Prevention: Use raw SQL migrations for generated columns

Example - D1 Supports This:

-- D1 supports this, but Drizzle has no JS equivalent
CREATE TABLE products (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  data TEXT,
  price REAL GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_extract(data, '$.price')) STORED
);
CREATE INDEX idx_price ON products(price);

Workaround - Use Raw SQL:

import { sql } from 'drizzle-orm';

// Current workaround - raw SQL only
await db.run(sql`
  CREATE TABLE products (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    data TEXT,
    price REAL GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_extract(data, '$.price')) STORED
  )
`);

// Or in migration file (migrations/XXXX_add_generated.sql)
CREATE INDEX idx_price ON products(price);

Note: This is a known limitation, not a bug. Feature requested but not yet implemented.

Issue #16: Migration Generator Silently Causes CASCADE DELETE Data Loss

Error: Related data silently deleted during migrations Source: drizzle-orm#4938 Why It Happens: Drizzle generates PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF before table recreation, but Cloudflare D1 ignores this pragma. CASCADE DELETE still triggers, destroying all related data. Prevention: Manually rewrite dangerous migrations with backup/restore pattern

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: This can cause permanent data loss in production.

When It Happens: Any schema change that requires table recreation (adding/removing columns, changing types) will DROP and recreate the table. If foreign keys reference this table with onDelete: "cascade", ALL related data is deleted.

Example - Dangerous Migration:

// Schema with cascade relationships
export const account = sqliteTable("account", {
  accountId: integer("account_id").primaryKey(),
  name: text("name"),
});

export const property = sqliteTable("property", {
  propertyId: integer("property_id").primaryKey(),
  accountId: integer("account_id").references(() => account.accountId, {
    onDelete: "cascade"  // ⚠️ CASCADE DELETE
  }),
});

// Change account schema (e.g., add a column)
// npx drizzle-kit generate creates:
// DROP TABLE account;  -- ⚠️ Silently destroys ALL properties via cascade!
// CREATE TABLE account (...);

Safe Migration Pattern:

-- Manually rewrite migration to backup related data
PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;  -- D1 ignores this, but include anyway

-- 1. Backup related tables
CREATE TABLE backup_property AS SELECT * FROM property;

-- 2. Drop and recreate parent table
DROP TABLE account;
CREATE TABLE account (
  account_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  name TEXT,
  -- new columns here
);

-- 3. Restore related data
INSERT INTO property SELECT * FROM backup_property;
DROP TABLE backup_property;

PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON;

Detection: Always review generated migrations before applying. Look for:

• DROP TABLE statements for tables with foreign key references
• Tables with onDelete: "cascade" relationships

Workarounds:

1. Option 1: Manually rewrite migrations (safest)
2. Option 2: Use onDelete: "set null" instead of "cascade" for schema changes
3. Option 3: Temporarily remove foreign keys during migration

Reproduction: https://github.com/ZerGo0/drizzle-d1-reprod

Impact: Affects better-auth migration from v1.3.7+, any D1 schema with foreign keys.

Issue #17: sql Template in D1 Batch Causes TypeError

Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind') Source: drizzle-orm#2277 Why It Happens: Using sql template literals inside db.batch() causes TypeError. The same SQL works fine outside of batch operations. Prevention: Use query builder instead of sql template in batch operations

Example - When It Fails:

const upsertSql = sql`insert into ${schema.subscriptions}
  (id, status) values (${id}, ${status})
  on conflict (id) do update set status = ${status}
  returning *`;

// Works fine
const [subscription] = await db.all<Subscription>(upsertSql);

// Throws TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind')
const [[batchSubscription]] = await db.batch([
  db.all<Subscription>(upsertSql),
]);

Solution - Use Query Builder:

// Use Drizzle query builder instead
const [result] = await db.batch([
  db.insert(schema.subscriptions)
    .values({ id, status })
    .onConflictDoUpdate({
      target: schema.subscriptions.id,
      set: { status }
    })
    .returning()
]);

Workaround - Convert to Native D1:

import { SQLiteSyncDialect } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core';

const sqliteDialect = new SQLiteSyncDialect();
const upsertQuery = sqliteDialect.sqlToQuery(upsertSql);
const [result] = await D1.batch([
  D1.prepare(upsertQuery.sql).bind(...upsertQuery.params),
]);

Issue #18: Drizzle 1.0 Nested Migrations Not Found by Wrangler

Error: Migrations silently fail to apply (no error message) Source: drizzle-orm#5266 Why It Happens: Drizzle 1.0 beta generates nested migration folders, but wrangler d1 migrations apply only looks for files directly in the configured directory. Prevention: Flatten migrations with post-generation script

Migration Structure Issue:

# Drizzle 1.0 beta generates this:
migrations/
  20260116123456_random/
    migration.sql
  20260117234567_another/
    migration.sql

# But wrangler expects this:
migrations/
  20260116123456_random.sql
  20260117234567_another.sql

Detection:

npx wrangler d1 migrations apply my-db --remote
# Output: "No migrations found" (even though migrations exist)

Solution - Post-Generation Script:

// scripts/flatten-migrations.ts
import fs from 'fs/promises';
import path from 'path';

const migrationsDir = './migrations';

async function flattenMigrations() {
  const entries = await fs.readdir(migrationsDir, { withFileTypes: true });

  for (const entry of entries) {
    if (entry.isDirectory()) {
      const sqlFile = path.join(migrationsDir, entry.name, 'migration.sql');
      const flatFile = path.join(migrationsDir, `${entry.name}.sql`);

      // Move migration.sql out of folder
      await fs.rename(sqlFile, flatFile);

      // Remove empty folder
      await fs.rmdir(path.join(migrationsDir, entry.name));

      console.log(`Flattened: ${entry.name}/migration.sql → ${entry.name}.sql`);
    }
  }
}

flattenMigrations().catch(console.error);

package.json Integration:

{
  "scripts": {
    "db:generate": "drizzle-kit generate",
    "db:flatten": "tsx scripts/flatten-migrations.ts",
    "db:migrate": "npm run db:generate && npm run db:flatten && wrangler d1 migrations apply my-db"
  }
}

Workaround Until Fixed: Always run the flatten script after generating migrations:

npx drizzle-kit generate
tsx scripts/flatten-migrations.ts
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply my-db --remote

Status: Feature request to add flat: true config option (not yet implemented).

Batch API Pattern (D1 Transactions)

// ❌ DON'T: Use traditional transactions (fails with D1_ERROR)
await db.transaction(async (tx) => { /* ... */ });

// ✅ DO: Use D1 batch API
const results = await db.batch([
  db.insert(users).values({ email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test' }),
  db.insert(posts).values({ title: 'Post', content: 'Content', authorId: 1 }),
]);

// With error handling
try {
  await db.batch([...]);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Batch failed:', error);
  // Manual cleanup if needed
}
