DThe database is in read-only mode
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand the error message

    The error says the relation (table) "mytable" does not exist, meaning PostgreSQL cannot find it.

    This usually happens if the table name is misspelled or the table was not created.
  3. Final Answer:

    The table name is misspelled or does not exist -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Relation not found = wrong or missing table name [OK]
Quick Trick: Check table name spelling if relation not found error appears [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking VERBOSE causes the error
  • Assuming ANALYZE must run on whole database first
