How It Affects Your App
NOT NULL VIOLATION error occurs when a value is attempted to be inserted into a column that does not allow NULL values. This can have a significant impact on an application as it can prevent data from being stored in the database, which can lead to data loss and disruption of the application's functionality. Additionally, it can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive, leading to further disruption.

6. Re-run the insert query to ensure the data is being inserted correctly:
7. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix PostgreSQL 23502 errors in the future. Automated database observability tools can detect and alert on PostgreSQL 23502 errors, as well as provide insights into the root cause of the error. This can help to quickly identify and fix PostgreSQL 23502 errors in the future.
