v1 query API error

Error message

v1 query API error: {0}

What it means

This variant wraps a `QueryError` from the core query layer (`#[from] QueryError`) into the v1 query API's error type. It represents any error propagating up from the shared query engine — planning, execution, or permission failures — that is not one of the more specific variants above. The original error text is embedded via `{0}`.

Solutions

1. Read the wrapped QueryError ({0}) for the underlying cause.
2. Trace the wrapped error to its specific query-layer source and apply the fix for that error type.
3. Simplify the query to determine whether planning or execution is failing.
4. Upgrade or patch if the wrapped error matches a known engine bug.

function isV1QueryError(e) {
  return e instanceof Error && e.message.startsWith('v1 query API error:');
}

try {
  await queryV1({ db, q });
} catch (e) {
  if (/v1 query API error:/.test(e.message)) {
    const cause = e.message.slice('v1 query API error: '.length);
    handleUpstreamQueryError(cause); // inspect, log, or rethrow a typed error
  } else {
    throw e;
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Any v1 /query request whose execution path fails inside the shared query subsystem (QueryError) rather than in URL decoding, rewriting, or the single-statement/db checks — e.g. execution-time failures after the statement was accepted.

Common situations: Errors surfacing from the ioxx query engine during execution: invalid aggregation over schema, permission-related query failures, or internal query-layer failures after rewriting succeeded.
