While creating a record, if it happened to pass new StringRecordId(''), The engine gets disconnected. And we are receiving the error as "The engine reported the connection to surrealdb has dropped"

I'm not totally sure if this is the root cause, but I too am having this issue on Surrealdb 2.0.6 and the npm package surrealdb@1.0.6.

Hey @arun-pirai , We need to do some work on SurrealDB's side to be able to solve this, you can track the following issue: surrealdb/surrealdb#4528
I'll leave this open in the meantime!

In the 2.0 alpha version of the SDK this will no longer result in a complete drop of your connection, but it will still cause your query to never complete. We know this is far from ideal, so we will continue to research a fitting solution for this problem.
