How to include unsupported database features for projects that use Prisma Migrate.

Location: ORM > v6 > Prisma Migrate > Workflows > Unsupported database features (Prisma Migrate)

Prisma Migrate uses the Prisma schema to determine what features to create in the database. However, some database features [cannot be represented in the Prisma schema](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/prisma-schema/data-model/unsupported-database-features) , including but not limited to:

* Stored procedures
* Triggers
* Views
* Partial indexes

To add an unsupported feature to your database, you must [customize a migration](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/prisma-migrate/workflows/customizing-migrations) to include that feature before you apply it.

> [!NOTE]
> The Prisma schema is able to represent [unsupported field types](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/prisma-schema/data-model/unsupported-database-features#unsupported-field-types) and [native database functions](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/prisma-migrate/workflows/native-database-functions).

> [!WARNING]
> This guide **does not apply for MongoDB**.<br />
> Instead of `migrate dev`, [`db push`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/prisma-migrate/workflows/prototyping-your-schema) is used for [MongoDB](https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/v6/overview/databases/mongodb).

## Customize a migration to include an unsupported feature [#customize-a-migration-to-include-an-unsupported-feature]

To customize a migration to include an unsupported feature:

1. Use the `--create-only` flag to generate a new migration without applying it:

   
     

#### bun

```bash
bunx prisma migrate dev --create-only
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm prisma migrate dev --create-only
```

#### yarn

```bash
yarn prisma migrate dev --create-only
```

#### npm

```bash
npx prisma migrate dev --create-only
```
   

2. Open the generated `migration.sql` file and add the unsupported feature - for example, a partial index:

   ```sql
   CREATE UNIQUE INDEX tests_success_constraint
     ON posts (subject, target)
     WHERE success;
   ```

3. Apply the migration:

   
     

#### bun

```bash
bunx prisma migrate dev
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm prisma migrate dev
```

#### yarn

```bash
yarn prisma migrate dev
```

#### npm

```bash
npx prisma migrate dev
```
   

4. Commit the modified migration to source control.
