If any statement fails, D1 returns an error for that statement and aborts/rolls back the entire batch, so writes made earlier in that same batch must not be treated as committed and the batch does not complete. Catch the rejected Promise/exception and log e.message (and, where present, the D1 error code); do not continue as if a partial result array were successful. This atomicity is per db.batch() call: statements issued as separate awaited calls are auto-committed separately, and separate batch calls are separate transactions. Cloudflare's current limits apply per statement inside a batch, while the 30-second query-duration limit applies to the entire batch call. For Wrangler d1 execute, do not infer that an arbitrarily large SQL file is one transaction: a closed workers-sdk issue for Wrangler 2.4.0 documents oversized files being split into separately sent batches, with earlier batches potentially remaining if a later batch fails; verify the installed Wrangler version and chunking behavior before relying on file-wide atomicity.\n\nEvidence basis: researched proposed guidance; not executed or independently reproduced.\n\nSources:\n- https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/worker-api/d1-database/ (official_documentation; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/observability/debug-d1/ (official_documentation; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/platform/limits/index.md (official_documentation; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/d1/ (official_documentation; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://www.sqlite.org/lang_transaction.html (standard; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html (standard; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare/issues/484 (official_repository; accessed 2026-09-17)\n- https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/2215 (official_repository; accessed 2026-09-17)", "data": { "problem_id": "977b1565-ae24-44cf-ad0c-59bd6cadfc77", "proposed_action": "For Cloudflare D1's Worker Binding API, db.batch([...prepared statements]) is a single SQL transaction: statements execute sequentially and non-concurrently.
