Add option to skip unnecessary select after create

Problem

Every time you do operation with prisma-client it will make unnecessary select and return value

Query:

db.log
   .create({
      data: {
         smth: 1
      },
      select: { uuid: true }, // unnecessary select, even if you delete this line
   })

Logs:

prisma:query COMMIT
prisma:query BEGIN
prisma:query INSERT INTO "public"."log" ("smth") VALUES ($1) RETURNING "public"."log"."uuid"
prisma:query SELECT "public"."log"."uuid" FROM "public"."log" WHERE "public"."log"."uuid" = $1 LIMIT $2 OFFSET $3
prisma:query COMMIT

Suggested solution

Add option to skip select after insert or update (in case of operation fail error is thrown by default)

db.log
   .create({
      data: {
         smth: 1
      },
      select: false
   })

Logs:

prisma:query COMMIT
prisma:query BEGIN
prisma:query INSERT INTO "public"."log" ("smth") VALUES ($1)"
prisma:query COMMIT

Alternative solution (breaking change)

Do not return anything after insert or update if select was not explicitly set.

Is there any movement on this? Not sure if this is as relevant, but those select’s (after insert even though I haven’t specified a select argument) do eat into the transaction buffer limit.

Would appreciate an option to remove the unnecessary select
