How It Affects Your App
The PostgreSQL 39P01 TRIGGER PROTOCOL VIOLATED error indicates that the application is attempting to modify a table that has a trigger defined on it, but the application is not using the correct protocol to do so. This can cause the application to fail, as the trigger will not be executed and the data in the table may not be updated correctly. It can also lead to unexpected behavior, as the application may not be aware of the trigger and its effects. As a result, the application may not function as expected and may produce incorrect results.
