The error "no such column: Vault" occurs when you try to query a column that does not exist in the table. This usually happens due to missing quotes around text values, typos in column names, or referencing a column from a different table. To fix this, ensure you quote text values correctly and check the spelling of column names against the table's columns using PRAGMA table_info.
Additionally, be aware that columns added after the table creation may not be immediately visible in SELECT queries, requiring ALTER TABLE to update the table structure.
