Canceling queries (AbortController / AbortSignal)

[sixers]

Does Prisma support cancelling queries? Ideally with AbortController / AbortSignal.

Hey @sixers 👋 ,

We do not support query cancellation with AbortController, though it sounds like an interesting idea! Would mind opening a feature request with more details?

@austincrim Does Prisma support any way of cancelling queries?

Yes, I can create a feature request.

We don't currently have an API for cancelling queries. Could you help me understand your use case a bit more?

[sixers]

Cancelling long running queries.

Example 1: Background job running some long queries is asynchronously cancelled. The db queries should also be immediately cancelled so that we can cleanup and close the job.
Example 2: We run HTTP request and db query (via prisma) in parallel. HTTP request fails, so there's no point in waiting for prisma query to finish - it can be cancelled.
