Failed to insert into pool_snapshot table: {e}

Error message

Failed to insert into pool_snapshot table: {e}

What it means

Raised when a single-row INSERT of a pool snapshot into the `pool_snapshot` table (including analytics fields such as total fee-collects, flashes, and liquidity utilization rate) fails. The sqlx error is wrapped with this message. The snapshot is not saved, which can break checkpoint/replay start points that depend on snapshots.

Solutions

  1. Read the `{e}` suffix for the exact sqlx/PostgreSQL error
  2. Ensure the referenced pool row exists before inserting its snapshot (FK order)
  3. Run pending migrations to match the pool_snapshot schema
  4. Validate analytics fields (non-negative counts, utilization rate within column bounds) before inserting
  5. Check connection health and retry after transient failures

Example fix

// before
.map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("Failed to insert into pool_snapshot table: {e}"))
// after: ensure parent row exists and surface pool context
// ensure pool row for snapshot.pool_identifier is inserted first
.map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("Failed to insert into pool_snapshot table (pool={}, block={}): {e}", snapshot.pool_identifier, snapshot.block))
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

fn validate_snapshot(snapshot: &PoolSnapshot) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    anyhow::ensure!(!snapshot.pool_identifier.is_empty(), "missing pool_identifier");
    anyhow::ensure!(snapshot.analytics.liquidity_utilization_rate >= 0.0, "negative utilization");
    Ok(())
}

Type guard

fn is_persistable(snapshot: &PoolSnapshot) -> bool {
    !snapshot.pool_identifier.is_empty() && snapshot.block > 0
}

Try / catch

match add_pool_snapshot(&snapshot).await {
    Ok(()) => {},
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("foreign key") => {
        ensure_pool_row(&snapshot.pool_identifier).await?;
        add_pool_snapshot(&snapshot).await?;
    }
    Err(e) => return Err(e),
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the add-pool-snapshot method when Postgres rejects the row: NOT NULL violation on an analytics field, numeric precision overflow for utilization rate, FK violation if the referenced pool row does not exist yet, or connection loss.

Common situations: Inserting a snapshot for a pool not yet present in the pools table (FK failure); utilization-rate floats exceeding column precision; schema drift after migrations; database restarts mid-run.
