NO ACTIVE SQL TRANSACTION - Indicates that the current session has no active SQL transaction, and the requested operation cannot be performed.

How It Affects Your App

This can lead to data loss and disruption of the application's functionality. Additionally, the application may become unstable and crash due to the lack of an active transaction.

How To Fix

1. Identify the source of the PostgreSQL 25P01 error:The PostgreSQL 25P01 error is a “no password supplied” error, which means that the user is not providing a valid password when attempting to connect to the database.

2. Check the PostgreSQL configuration file for the correct authentication settings: The authentication settings can be found in the PostgreSQL configuration file, usually located at /etc/postgresql//main/pg_hba.conf.

"local" is for Unix domain socket connections only loca lall all md5# IPv4 local connections:host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5# IPv6 local connections:hostall all  ::1/128md5

3. Ensure that the user is providing the correct password: The user should ensure that they are providing the correct password when attempting to connect to the database.

4. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the PostgreSQL 25P01 error: An automated database observability tool can be used to monitor and fix the PostgreSQL 25P01 error. Such a tool can provide real-time visibility into the database, allowing for quick identification and resolution of any issues.
