Cannot update a table - code: 'P2021'

Bug description

I cannot update a table in my postgres database with Prisma. I can read it, create but cannot update this particular table. I can update this table with an SQL query. So I don’t believe that the problem is the table or the schema. This seems to be a bug in Prisma.

unknown database error:  { [Error:  
Invalid `prisma.user.update()` invocation: 
 
 
  The table `(not available)` does not exist in the current database.] 
  code: 'P2021', 
  clientVersion: '3.10.0', 
  meta: { table: '(not available)' } } 

How to reproduce

This prisma query fails with the above error:

await db.user.update({
      where: { id: uid },
      data: {
        avatar: uuid,
        images: {
          create: [
            {
              id: uuid,
            },
          ],
        },
      },
    });

This prisma query succeeds (provided I’ve already created this row):

await db.image.update({
    where: { id: uuid },
    data: {
      userId: uid,
    },
  });

Other queries on the user table succeed: db.user.create etc

Expected behavior

I expect an update query to succeed. And if I does fail I expect an error message that can tell me why it has failed. This error message is telling me the table '(not available)' doesn’t exist. Which is just false.

thanks as you suggest, the fix is to remove referentialIntegrity = "prisma" rebuild the client then put it back in and rebuild the client again 😃

I’m using this is in a postgres DB because I’m in the process of migrating to PlanetScale and I want to confirm things work before migrating
