SELECT * FROM table_name

And the error is caused by a missing table name, you can fix it by adding the correct table name:

SELECT * FROM my_table

3. Test the fix:Once you have fixed the statement, you can test it by running it in the PostgreSQL console. If the statement runs successfully, the error should be fixed.

4. Use an automated database observability tool: To ensure that the PostgreSQL 42702 error does not occur again, it is recommended to use an automated database observability tool. This tool can monitor the database for any errors and alert you when they occur. This way, you can quickly identify and fix any errors that may arise in the future. Additionally, the tool can provide insights into the performance of the database, allowing you to optimize it for better performance.
