EF Core: The LINQ expression 'x' could not be translated. Either rewrite the query in a form that can be translated, or switch to client evaluation explicitly
The query uses C# code EF Core can’t convert to SQL — custom methods, unsupported string/date functions, or complex projections.
The instance of entity type 'X' cannot be tracked because another instance with the same key value for {'Id'} is already being tracked
Two different objects with the same primary key were attached to one DbContext.

PostgreSQL: ERROR: relation "x" does not exist
The table/view isn’t found — missing migration, wrong schema, or a case-sensitive quoted name.
MySQL ERROR 1022 (23000): Can't write; duplicate key in table
An ALTER/CREATE produced a duplicate key or constraint name — often a foreign key name that already exists in the database.

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
A collection was modified while being iterated (even in a single thread).
HTTP 412 Precondition Failed
A conditional request header (If-Match, If-Unmodified-Since) didn’t match the current state of the resource.
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
A function called itself (directly or indirectly) too many times — usually infinite recursion.
java.lang.StackOverflowError
The thread’s call stack overflowed — almost always unbounded recursion, sometimes a bidirectional toString/equals/JSON cycle.
