## Error Message {#error_message .section}

`Cannot find table <xxx> in metadata. RefId: S01048`

## Probable Causes {#probable_causes .section}

This error occurs when the specified table cannot be found in the metadata during a query. It may be due to the ongoing DDL operations on the table, such as metadata modification.

## Solutions {#solutions .section}

Address the error based on the specific circumstances. For example, if the table is being renamed with `renameTable`, wait for the function to complete and then use [clearCachedDatabase](../../Functions/c/clearCachedDatabase.md) to clear the cache before retrying the query or restarting the node.
