How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that a foreign key constraint has been violated. This means that a record in the child table is referencing a non-existent record in the parent table. This can cause data integrity issues and can lead to data inconsistency. It can also cause the application to crash or malfunction if the application is not designed to handle this type of error. In addition, it can lead to data loss if the application does not have a backup system in place.
