My Answer:
It seems like you have mentioned an "Unknown column" in your query or statement. This typically means that the column you are referring to does not exist in the database table you are querying. Double-check the column name and make sure it is spelled correctly and exists in the table you are trying to access. If the issue persists, you may need to review the database schema or consult with a database administrator for further assistance.
