Error-to-Fix Mapping Table

Error / Exception	HTTP	Cause	Fix
`DuplicateEntryError`	409	Unique constraint violation on insert/rename	Check existence first OR catch and return existing
`DoesNotExistError`	404	`get_doc()` on missing record	Use `frappe.db.exists()` first OR catch exception
`LinkValidationError`	417	Link field points to non-existent record	Validate link target exists before save
`LinkExistsError`	N/A	Delete blocked by linked documents	Show linked docs to user; use `force=True` carefully
`MandatoryError`	417	Required field is empty on save	Set all mandatory fields before insert/save
`TimestampMismatchError`	N/A	Concurrent edit detected (`modified` changed)	Reload doc and retry, or inform user to refresh
`CharacterLengthExceededError`	417	String exceeds field maxlength / DB column size	Truncate input or increase field length
`DataTooLongException`	417	Value exceeds DB column storage capacity	Same as CharacterLengthExceededError
`InReadOnlyMode`	503	Write attempted during read-only mode	Check `frappe.flags.in_import` or site config
`QueryTimeoutError`	N/A	Query exceeded time limit [v15+]	Add indexes, reduce result set, paginate
`QueryDeadlockError`	N/A	Two transactions waiting on each other	Retry with backoff; reduce transaction scope
`TooManyWritesError`	N/A	Excessive writes in single request	Batch operations; use background jobs
`InternalError` (gone away)	N/A	MariaDB connection dropped	Reconnect with `frappe.db.connect()`
`InternalError` (too many)	N/A	Connection pool exhausted	Check `max_connections`; close idle connections
`ValidationError`	417	General validation failure in save	Read error message; fix field values
SQL syntax error	N/A	Wrong `frappe.db.sql()` parameter format	Use `%(name)s` with dict, NOT `%s` with tuple

frappe.db.sql() Parameter Format

# ❌ WRONG — %s with positional tuple (works but fragile)
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = %s", ("ITEM-001",))

# ❌ WRONG — f-string or .format() — SQL INJECTION!
frappe.db.sql(f"SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '{item_name}'")
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '{}'".format(item_name))

# ❌ WRONG — bare % operator
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '%s'" % item_name)

# ✅ CORRECT — named parameters with dict (ALWAYS use this)
frappe.db.sql(
    "SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = %(name)s AND warehouse = %(wh)s",
    {"name": item_name, "wh": warehouse},
    as_dict=True
)

# ✅ CORRECT — frappe.qb (query builder, no injection risk)
Item = frappe.qb.DocType("Item")
result = (
    frappe.qb.from_(Item)
    .select(Item.name, Item.item_name)
    .where(Item.warehouse == warehouse)
    .run(as_dict=True)
)

Rule: ALWAYS use %(name)s with a dict parameter. NEVER use string formatting for SQL values.

get_value Returns None: Not an Exception

# ❌ DANGEROUS — get_value returns None, not raises
credit = frappe.db.get_value("Customer", "CUST-001", "credit_limit")
if credit > 1000:  # TypeError: '>' not supported between NoneType and int
    pass

# ✅ CORRECT — handle None explicitly
credit = frappe.db.get_value("Customer", "CUST-001", "credit_limit")
if credit is None:
    frappe.throw(_("Customer not found"))
credit = credit or 0  # Default to 0 if field is empty

# ✅ CORRECT — get_value with as_dict for multiple fields
data = frappe.db.get_value("Customer", "CUST-001",
    ["credit_limit", "disabled"], as_dict=True)
if not data:  # None when record not found
    frappe.throw(_("Customer not found"))
if data.disabled:
    frappe.throw(_("Customer is disabled"))

Key behavior by method:

Method	Record Not Found	Empty Field
`get_doc()`	Raises `DoesNotExistError`	Returns field default
`get_value()`	Returns `None`	Returns `None` or `""`
`get_all()`	Returns `[]`	Included in result
`exists()`	Returns `False`	N/A
`set_value()`	Silently does nothing	N/A
`db.sql()`	Returns `[]` or `()`	Included in result

Handling Each Exception Type

DuplicateEntryError

# Pattern: Insert with duplicate handling
def create_or_get(doctype, data):
    try:
        doc = frappe.get_doc({"doctype": doctype, **data})
        doc.insert()
        return doc
    except frappe.DuplicateEntryError:
        # Race condition safe: someone else created it
        name = frappe.db.get_value(doctype, data, "name")
        return frappe.get_doc(doctype, name)

TimestampMismatchError

# Pattern: Concurrent edit detection
try:
    doc = frappe.get_doc("Sales Invoice", name)
    doc.update(updates)
    doc.save()
except frappe.TimestampMismatchError:
    frappe.throw(
        _("Document modified by another user. Please refresh and try again."),
        title=_("Concurrent Edit")
    )

LinkValidationError & MandatoryError

# Pattern: Pre-validate before save
def safe_create_invoice(data):
    errors = []

    # Check mandatory fields
    if not data.get("customer"):
        errors.append(_("Customer is required"))
    if not data.get("items"):
        errors.append(_("At least one item is required"))

    # Check link validity
    if data.get("customer"):
        if not frappe.db.exists("Customer", data["customer"]):
            errors.append(_("Customer '{0}' not found").format(data["customer"]))

    if errors:
        frappe.throw("<br>".join(errors))

    doc = frappe.get_doc({"doctype": "Sales Invoice", **data})
    doc.insert()
    return doc

CharacterLengthExceededError

# Pattern: Truncate before save
def safe_set_description(doc, description):
    max_len = 140  # Match field length in DocType
    if len(description) > max_len:
        description = description[:max_len - 3] + "..."
        frappe.msgprint(_("Description truncated to {0} characters").format(max_len))
    doc.description = description

QueryTimeoutError [v15+]

# Pattern: Paginated query to avoid timeout
def get_large_report(filters):
    try:
        return frappe.db.sql(query, filters, as_dict=True)
    except frappe.QueryTimeoutError:
        frappe.log_error(frappe.get_traceback(), "Report Query Timeout")
        frappe.throw(
            _("Report too large. Please narrow your date range or add filters."),
            title=_("Query Timeout")
        )

InReadOnlyMode

# Pattern: Check before write
def safe_write(doctype, name, field, value):
    if frappe.flags.in_import:
        frappe.db.set_value(doctype, name, field, value)
        return
    try:
        frappe.db.set_value(doctype, name, field, value)
    except frappe.InReadOnlyMode:
        frappe.log_error(f"Write blocked: {doctype}/{name}", "Read-Only Mode")
        frappe.throw(_("System is in read-only mode. Please try again later."))

Transaction Deadlocks

# ❌ CAUSES DEADLOCKS — long transaction with many writes
def process_all():
    for inv in frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice", limit=10000):
        doc = frappe.get_doc("Sales Invoice", inv.name)
        doc.custom_field = "value"
        doc.save()  # Each save locks rows; other processes wait

# ✅ CORRECT — batch with commits to release locks
def process_all():
    invoices = frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice", limit=10000)
    BATCH = 100
    for i in range(0, len(invoices), BATCH):
        for inv in invoices[i:i + BATCH]:
            frappe.db.set_value("Sales Invoice", inv.name, "custom_field", "value")
        frappe.db.commit()  # Release locks after each batch

# ✅ CORRECT — retry on deadlock
import time
def with_deadlock_retry(func, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return func()
        except frappe.QueryDeadlockError:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                frappe.db.rollback()
                time.sleep(0.5 * (attempt + 1))
            else:
                raise

MariaDB Gone Away / Too Many Connections

# Pattern: Connection recovery
def reliable_operation():
    try:
        return frappe.db.sql("SELECT 1")
    except frappe.db.InternalError as e:
        msg = str(e).lower()
        if "gone away" in msg or "lost connection" in msg:
            frappe.db.connect()  # Reconnect
            return frappe.db.sql("SELECT 1")
        if "too many connections" in msg:
            frappe.log_error("Too many DB connections", "Connection Pool")
            frappe.throw(_("Server busy. Please try again in a moment."))
        raise  # Unknown InternalError — re-raise

Prevention:

Set wait_timeout in MariaDB config (default 28800s)
Check max_connections setting matches your workload
Use connection pooling in production (Gunicorn workers)

Transaction Rules

When to Commit

Context	Auto-Commit?	Manual Commit?
Web request (POST/PUT)	YES	NEVER
Controller hooks (validate, on_update)	YES	NEVER
doc_events hooks	YES	NEVER
Scheduler tasks	NO	ALWAYS
Background jobs (frappe.enqueue)	NO	ALWAYS
bench execute	NO	ALWAYS

Savepoints for Partial Rollback

def complex_operation():
    frappe.db.savepoint("before_risky")
    try:
        risky_database_operation()
    except Exception:
        frappe.db.rollback(save_point="before_risky")
        safe_alternative()  # Continue with fallback

# Transaction hooks [v15+]
frappe.db.after_commit.add(lambda: send_notification())
frappe.db.after_rollback.add(lambda: cleanup_files())

SQL Injection Prevention

# ❌ INJECTION VULNERABLE — all of these
frappe.db.sql(f"SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '{user_input}'")
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '%s'" % user_input)
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = '{}'".format(user_input))

# ❌ ALSO VULNERABLE — in permission_query_conditions
def query_conditions(user):
    return f"owner = '{user}'"  # Unescaped!

# ✅ SAFE — parameterized query
frappe.db.sql("SELECT * FROM `tabItem` WHERE name = %(name)s", {"name": us

## MariaDB Gone Away / Too Many Connections

```python
# Pattern: Connection recovery

            frappe.throw(_("Server busy. Please try again in a moment."))
        raise  # Unknown InternalError — re-raise
```

**Prevention**:
- Set `wait_timeout` in MariaDB config (default 28800s)
- Check `max_connections` setting matches your workload
- Use connection pooling in production (Gunicorn workers)

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "frappe-errors-database" agent skill from https://github.com/Impertio-Studio/Frappe_Claude_Skill_Package/tree/main/skills/source/errors/frappe-errors-database. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Use when handling database errors in Frappe/ERPNext. Covers DuplicateEntryError, LinkValidationError, MandatoryError, TimestampMismatchError, CharacterLengthExceededError, InReadOnlyMode, QueryTimeoutError, SQL injection errors, frappe.db.sql parameter format (% vs %s), get_value returning None, transaction deadlocks, MariaDB gone away, too many connections. Error-to-fix mapping for v14/v15/v16. Keywords: database error, DuplicateEntryError, TimestampMismatchError,, MariaDB error, MySQL error, column not found, table missing, duplicate entry, database crash. SQL injection, deadlock, MariaDB gone away, query timeout. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"impertio-studio-frappe-errors-database","task":"Install frappe-errors-database","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: skills/source/errors/frappe-errors-database/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 36cfa807518f48e4210fac2a5afc6adafad4c53e. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
