Reset your database and apply all migrations. All data will be lost

Location: CLI > v7 > migrate > reset

The `prisma migrate reset` command resets your database and re-applies all migrations.

**For use in development environments only.**

> [!WARNING]
> This command is not supported on [MongoDB](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v7/core-concepts/supported-databases/mongodb). Use [`db push`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/cli/v7/db/push) instead.

## Usage [#usage]

```bash
prisma migrate reset [options]
```

The datasource URL configuration is read from the Prisma config file (e.g., `prisma.config.ts`).

## How it works [#how-it-works]

1. Drops the database/schema if possible, or performs a soft reset if the environment doesn't allow it
2. Creates a new database/schema with the same name
3. Applies all migrations

> [!NOTE]
> **Prisma v7**: `migrate reset` no longer automatically runs seed scripts. Run `npx prisma db seed` explicitly if needed.

## Options [#options]

| Option          | Description                            |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `-h`, `--help`  | Display help message                   |
| `--config`      | Custom path to your Prisma config file |
| `--schema`      | Custom path to your Prisma schema      |
| `-f`, `--force` | Skip the confirmation prompt           |

## AI safety guardrails [#ai-safety-guardrails]

Prisma ORM includes built-in safety checks to prevent accidental destructive commands when run through AI coding assistants.

When AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or others attempt `prisma migrate reset --force`, Prisma blocks execution and shows a protective error message.

To proceed, you must provide explicit consent. The AI agent will:

1. Explain what action it's attempting
2. Warn that this action irreversibly destroys all data
3. Confirm whether this is a development or production database
4. Ask for your explicit consent before proceeding

After consent, the AI sets the `PRISMA_USER_CONSENT_FOR_DANGEROUS_AI_ACTION` environment variable and reruns the command.
