This can occur for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Table Not Created: The table may not have been created in the database. This can happen if the installation or upgrade process was not completed successfully.
  Incorrect Table Name: There may be a typo or incorrect table name in the code or configuration that is trying to access the table.
  Database Connection Issues: There may be issues with the database connection, leading to the system being unable to access the table.
  Transport Issues: If the table was created in a development environment but not transported to the production environment, it may not exist in the target system.
