Generate Drizzle ORM schemas for Cloudflare D1 databases with correct D1-specific patterns. Produces schema files, migration commands, type exports, and DATABASE_SCHEMA.md documentation. Handles D1 quirks: foreign keys always enforced, no native BOOLEAN/DATETIME types, 100 bound parameter limit, JSON stored as TEXT. Use when creating a new database, adding tables, or scaffolding a D1 data layer.

Generate correct Drizzle ORM schemas for Cloudflare D1. D1 is SQLite-based but has important differences that cause subtle bugs if you use standard SQLite patterns. This skill produces schemas that work correctly with D1's constraints.
| Feature | Standard SQLite | D1 |
|---------|-----------------|-----|
| Foreign keys | OFF by default | Always ON (cannot disable) |
| Boolean type | No | No — use integer({ mode: 'boolean' }) |
| Datetime type | No | No — use integer({ mode: 'timestamp' }) |
| Max bound params | ~999 | 100 (affects bulk inserts) |
| JSON support | Extension | Always available (json_extract, ->, ->>) |
| Concurrency | Multi-writer | Single-threaded (one query at a time) |
Gather requirements: what tables, what relationships, what needs indexing. If working from an existing description, infer the schema directly.
Create schema files using D1-correct column patterns:
import { sqliteTable, text, integer, real, index, uniqueIndex } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core'
export const users = sqliteTable('users', {
// UUID primary key (preferred for D1)
id: text('id').primaryKey().$defaultFn(() => crypto.randomUUID()),
// Text fields
name: text('name').notNull(),
email: text('email').notNull(),
// Enum (stored as TEXT, validated at schema level)
role: text('role', { enum: ['admin', 'editor', 'viewer'] }).notNull().default('viewer'),
// Boolean (D1 has no BOOL — stored as INTEGER 0/1)
emailVerified: integer('email_verified', { mode: 'boolean' }).notNull().default(false),
// Timestamp (D1 has no DATETIME — stored as unix seconds)
createdAt: integer('created_at', { mode: 'timestamp' }).notNull().$defaultFn(() => new Date()),
updatedAt: integer('updated_at', { mode: 'timestamp' }).notNull().$defaultFn(() => new Date()),
// Typed JSON (stored as TEXT, Drizzle auto-serialises)
preferences: text('preferences', { mode: 'json' }).$type<UserPreferences>(),
// Foreign key (always enforced in D1)
organisationId: text('organisation_id').references(() => organisations.id, { onDelete: 'cascade' }),
}, (table) => ({
emailIdx: uniqueIndex('users_email_idx').on(table.email),
orgIdx: index('users_org_idx').on(table.organisationId),
}))
See references/column-patterns.md for the full type reference.
Drizzle relations are query builder helpers (separate from FK constraints):
import { relations } from 'drizzle-orm'
export const usersRelations = relations(users, ({ one, many }) => ({
organisation: one(organisations, {
fields: [users.organisationId],
references: [organisations.id],
}),
posts: many(posts),
}))
export type User = typeof users.$inferSelect
export type NewUser = typeof users.$inferInsert
Copy assets/drizzle-config-template.ts to drizzle.config.ts and update the schema path.
Add to package.json:
{
"db:generate": "drizzle-kit generate",
"db:migrate:local": "wrangler d1 migrations apply DB --local",
"db:migrate:remote": "wrangler d1 migrations apply DB --remote"
}
Always run on BOTH local AND remote before testing.
Document the schema for future sessions:
D1 limits bound parameters to 100. Calculate batch size:
const BATCH_SIZE = Math.floor(100 / COLUMNS_PER_ROW)
for (let i = 0; i < rows.length; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
await db.insert(table).values(rows.slice(i, i + BATCH_SIZE))
}
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/d1'
import * as schema from './schema'
// In Worker fetch handler:
const db = drizzle(env.DB, { schema })
// Query patterns
const all = await db.select().from(schema.users).all() // Array<User>
const one = await db.select().from(schema.users).where(eq(schema.users.id, id)).get() // User | undefined
const count = await db.select({ count: sql`count(*)` }).from(schema.users).get()
