Inconsistent error message for invalid table names (SELECT vs JOIN) #1885

Usually when you run a query with an invalid table name, you get a good error message: Table does not exist

But, if you try to do something like JOIN against an invalid table name, you get: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'columns')

It would be great if there was a consistent error message for situations like this.
