fix: Improve error handling and logging for unsupported database operations

- Enhanced the InsertHandler to provide fallbacks for unsupported operations like setObject and executeBatch, specifically for drivers such as Databricks.
- Added detailed logging to inform users when operations are skipped or when fallbacks are attempted, improving debuggability.
- Ensured that exceptions are thrown with clear messages when both primary and fallback methods fail, preventing silent failures.
