  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  There is an attempt to create a ledger table that already exists in the database.
  The system is trying to regenerate ledger tables during a process (like a migration or upgrade) but finds that the tables are already present.

  Alternatively, if you want to keep the existing data, consider renaming the table.
  
  
  
  Regenerate Ledger Tables:
