Which of the following correctly describes the outcome of a failed database operation in OutSystems?

When a database operation fails in OutSystems, it often triggers an exception that can be managed through exception flows. This means that OutSystems provides a mechanism to handle errors gracefully, allowing developers to implement specific responses to various types of exceptions. For example, if a connection fails or a constraint is violated, the system can redirect the flow of execution to a predefined exception flow, where you can log the error, show user-friendly messages, or attempt recovery actions. This feature is especially useful for maintaining the user experience and ensuring that the application can respond effectively to unexpected situations.

In contrast, while a database exception could be raised, it is not always guaranteed and is not the primary outcome; the system allows for structured handling of such cases through exception flows. Additionally, simply logging all issues automatically doesn't encompass the scopes of managing the failures effectively within the application context, nor does it directly involve a user experience element. A total lack of action on failure contradicts the intended resilience and user experience often expected in well-designed applications.
