feat(sql-orm-client): nested updateAll, deleteAll and array returns in relation callbacks

[StevenMcClankerton]

Inside update(), a relation callback can now update or delete a filtered set of related rows, and a relation callback can return several operations at once. This is the first slice of the nested-mutations project (projects/nested-mutations/spec.md), which adds the nested writes Prisma 7 users rely on. The upstream Prisma 7 tests that these operations make portable are in #30642, stacked on this one.

await db.User.where({ id: 1 }).update({
  posts: (p) => [
    p.create({ title: 'New' }),
    p.where({ published: false }).updateAll({ published: true }),
    p.where((post) => post.title.like('Draft%')).deleteAll(),
  ],
});

Changes

• Filtered writes on to-many relations: r.where(w).updateAll(data) and r.where(w).deleteAll(), with where optional. where takes the same three forms as the collection's where() and chained calls combine with AND. On one-to-many the statement is limited to rows whose foreign key equals the parent's key; on many-to-many, to targets that have a junction row for this parent. That condition is ANDed with the whole filter, including an OR filter. Many-to-many deleteAll deletes the targets and issues nothing on the junction table.
• Array returns: a relation callback in create() or update() may return an array of operations, applied in array order.
• Input is resolved once, before any lookup or write (src/nested-mutation-input.ts): nested input is turned into a tree of resolved operations, and every rejection that needs only the input and the contract is raised while building it. The executor applies that tree. Each user callback is called once per occurrence.
• The executor is restructured and split. mutation-executor.ts was 1,337 lines on main; it is now 823, with input resolution, relation definitions (src/relation-definitions.ts) and the transaction scope helpers (src/mutation-scope.ts) in their own files. create() and update() share one graph function; ownership (parent-owned, child-owned, junction) is a field on the cached relation definition; junction metadata is checked once when the definition is built; four "read paired column values" helpers are one. src/row-writes.ts holds the create/update defaults and the single-row insert, used by the executor and by collection.ts. Collection.where and the nested filter share resolveWhereInput.
• Docs: a "Nested writes" section in the package README, updates to docs/reference/error-reference.md, and an upgrade entry declaring no required changes.

Behaviour changes for existing code

• Invalid nested input is rejected earlier. update() with invalid nested input on a filter that matches no row used to resolve null; it now rejects. create() with invalid nested input used to reject after earlier statements had run and been rolled back; it now rejects before any write. This covers the existing create, connect and disconnect. Nested create() data that is not an object is rejected.
• Many-to-many connect no longer checks its targets before the parent row is written. Each target is looked up when the connect runs. A criterion that matches no row still raises ORM.RELATION_ROW_MISSING, now after the parent write and earlier operations (rolled back with the transaction). This also means a connect sees a target that an earlier operation in the same call deleted or re-keyed.
• Many-to-many connect is idempotent where the junction allows it, as in Prisma 7. When the junction table has a primary key or unique constraint over exactly its link columns, the junction row is inserted with "do nothing on conflict" on those columns: naming a row twice, or connecting a row that is already linked, leaves one link and raises nothing. Without such a key it is a plain insert and another junction row is added. The duplicate-criteria rejection and the ORM.RELATION_LINK_DUPLICATE code are removed; a database error from the junction insert propagates unchanged. Neither code is part of the package's public export.
• An empty criterion on a junction or parent-owned relation now reads connect() nested mutation for relation "R" requires non-empty criterion (or disconnect()), where it used to name the model and always say connect.

None of these needs a code change in correct callers, so the upgrade entry is changes: []. Worth a line in release notes.

Why

• Scoping is the rule the whole surface rests on: updateAll, deleteAll must not change a row that is not related to the record being updated. Each has integration tests on Postgres and SQLite where a row of another parent matches the filter and is unchanged, and unit tests that assert the statement's where structure.
• Names follow the collection (updateAll, deleteAll, where), not Prisma 7 (updateMany, deleteMany). Unlike the collection, the nested forms do not require where: the parent already limits the rows.
• Arrays instead of a fixed internal order: Prisma 7 accepts several operations on one relation and orders them itself; here the caller states the order.
• Junction rows are left to the schema on deleteAll: the ORM handles no referential actions elsewhere.
• Resolve once replaced a first version that validated input in one set of functions and applied it in a parallel set, with a cache between them.
• Idempotent connect: upstream's pm_cm_rel_connect_twice_error connects a linked pair again and expects no error; one-to-many connect in Prisma 8 already behaves that way. The key is detected from the contract because TypeScript authoring does not require one on a junction (PSL does), and a conflict clause naming columns with no constraint fails in the database.

Scope

In this PR: updateAll, deleteAll, array returns, input resolution, the executor restructure, and the connect change. Later slices of the same project: nested upsert, the onConflict options on nested create, and the hasOne uniqueness rule in TypeScript authoring. Not planned in the project: nested set, single-row nested update / delete, the Mongo ORM.

Notes for review

• Size. 29 files, about +4,900 / −1,150. The source is smaller than on main in the executor itself; the diff is large because mutation-executor.ts was rewritten and split, which shows as removals and additions, and because of tests (about 1,300 lines of unit and type tests, about 1,300 of integration tests on Postgres and SQLite).
• Type-level rejections. updateAll / deleteAll on a to-one relation, and updateAll data that sets the parent-link column, are type errors on an emitted contract.d.ts. A contract typed directly from the TypeScript builder carries no literal cardinality or link fields, so there they are rejected at runtime only.
• Capability not checked. The conflict clause for connect is emitted for every keyed junction; the nested path does not read the insertOnConflictSkip capability that the collection's onConflict option checks. Both built-in adapters support the clause.
• Unique indexes do not count as a junction key, only the primary key and unique constraints, since an index can be partial or over an expression.
• Known gap, not changed here. update({ posts: 'x' }) with no relation callback anywhere in the call takes the plain update path in collection.ts and never reaches the nested input resolution: it resolves null on no match and fails with ORM.COLUMN_UNKNOWN on a match.

Verification

Run locally on this branch's head: build; sql-orm-client tests (1,464) and lint; integration typecheck and lint; the sql-orm-client and planner-golden integration directories (1,563 tests); fixtures:check; lint:deps; lint:casts (delta 0); check:upgrade-coverage; docs lint and the error-reference check; test:packages (all pass except three tarball-install tests that fail locally on a registry trust check and pass in CI). The ports in #30642 (846 matrix runs plus seven single-schema tests) pass against this head.

The integration suite as a whole runs only in the merge queue; it was not run in full on this head.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Nested relation callbacks now accept one operation or an ordered array. Nested updates support filtered updateAll() and deleteAll() for eligible to-many relations. The executor resolves and validates inputs, then scopes writes to related rows.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c5b78

Nested bulk updates and deletes are scoped to the parent and covered by tests. The README still does not explain what many-to-many deleteAll does when the junction table has no foreign key. That is a small documentation follow-up and does not block the merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c5b78

Bulk writes retain parent-relation scoping, and no new authorization bypass was established. Shared many-to-many records can nevertheless affect other parents, while cleanup and all-or-nothing execution depend on schema constraints and transaction support.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — A nested bulk write can affect every target related to the selected parent, including targets shared with other parents. The shared-target update test explicitly demonstrates this behavior. Targets related only to another parent remain outside the membership predicate; cascading deletion can remove a deleted shared target's associations with other parents.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Callback-produced bulk descriptors pass through contract resolution before SQL execution. User filters supplement rather than replace the relation predicate, and direct child parent-link assignments are rejected. These controls enforce relation scope; they do not establish an application user's authorization to mutate a shared target.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Acquired transaction scopes commit on success and attempt rollback on failure; acquired connections are released. Inspected integration coverage asserts restoration of the parent and earlier target updates after a later restricted delete fails. Transactionless runtimes execute directly and can retain partial state, but that fallback existed at the PR base and is not a newly introduced atomicity regression.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Where nested writes must preserve security-sensitive state atomically, require an explicit transaction capability or an already-active transaction instead of accepting the inherited direct-execution fallback.
• proposed — Applications exposing nested writes to untrusted users should authorize mutation of shared targets separately from access to the parent. Schemas relying on association integrity should enforce referential cleanup rather than treating relation membership as exclusive ownership.

759-759: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Check the row shapes once per create descriptor, not once per row.

parsedCreateRows calls parsedCreateRow once for each index. On a cache miss, each parsedCreateRow call runs assertCreateRowsAreObjects over all of mutation.data. The validation pass therefore costs O(n²) for a nested create([...]) with n rows. With 10,000 rows, that is about 10⁸ checks before any SQL runs.

Run the shape check only when parsedCreateRow creates the cache entry for the mutation.

♻️ Proposed fix

   let rows = resolved.createRows.get(mutation);
   if (!rows) {
+    assertCreateRowsAreObjects(relation, mutation);
     rows = [];
     resolved.createRows.set(mutation, rows);
   }
   const cached = rows[index];
   if (cached) {
     return cached;
   }
-  assertCreateRowsAreObjects(relation, mutation);
   const input = mutation.data[index];

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document what many-to-many deleteAll does when the junction has no foreign key.

This paragraph covers cascading and restricting foreign keys only. Some junction tables have no foreign key to the target table, like the default user_tags.tag_id in the Postgres integration schema. On those tables, deleteAll deletes the target rows and leaves junction rows that point at deleted keys. If a new row later reuses a deleted key, those leftover junction rows link it to the old parents.

State this case. Recommend an ON DELETE CASCADE foreign key, or deleting the links with disconnect(...) before calling deleteAll.
