How It Affects Your App
This error occurs when a foreign key constraint is violated. This means that the data being inserted into the database does not match the data already present in the database. This can cause the application to fail to store data correctly, resulting in data integrity issues. It can also lead to data being lost or corrupted, which can cause the application to malfunction or crash. In addition, it can lead to incorrect results being returned from queries, which can lead to incorrect decisions being made by the application.
