  Data Type Mismatch: The data being inserted may not match the expected data types defined in the database schema. For example, trying to insert a string into a numeric field.
  
  
  Database Locking: The database table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the current operation from completing.
  
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user or process attempting to perform the insert may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the database.
  
  
  Database Connection Issues: There may be issues with the database connection, such as network problems or database server downtime.
  
  
  Data Volume: If a large volume of data is being inserted at once, it may exceed the database's capacity or timeout settings.

  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the values being inserted match the expected types in the database.

  Test Database Connection: Verify that the database connection is active and functioning correctly. Check for any network issues or database server status.
  
  
  Batch Inserts: If inserting a large volume of data, consider breaking it into smaller batches to avoid exceeding limits.
  
  
  Debug Application Logic: Review the application code to identify any potential bugs or logic errors that may be causing invalid data to be sent for insertion.
