Supabase database errors go unflagged across four distinct incidents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered four distinct issues with Supabase over a week, all stemming from a single underlying problem: the database executing queries without raising exceptions or providing clear error messages. These issues included unintended default grants on functions, a conflict between ON DELETE SET NULL and NOT NULL constraints, recursive Row Level Security (RLS) policies causing timeouts, and a query that silently stopped returning results after 1000 rows due to a fallback ordering mechanism. The developer highlights that unit tests passed for each incident because they used locally seeded data, and the lack of explicit error handling in the database masked the true nature of the failures.
