Scenario: You are working on a critical database application. During testing, you encounter an error in a SQL query that updates important customer data. What action should you take to ensure data integrity?

In this scenario, rolling back the database to a previous stable state is not the ideal option because it would revert all changes made by the query, potentially causing data loss. Consulting with the database administrator might provide insights, but it might not address the immediate issue. The best approach is to implement proper error handling and transaction management mechanisms to handle errors gracefully and ensure data integrity.
