  Data Integrity Violations: The data being written may violate constraints such as primary key, foreign key, or unique constraints.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary permissions to perform the update.
  Database Connection Problems: There may be issues with the connection to the database, such as network problems or database server downtime.
