  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the table, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database connection or integrity that prevent the system from recognizing the table.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the MODEL019 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Table Existence:

  Review the code or configuration where the table name is referenced to ensure there are no typographical errors.
