Generally you put there name of schema and table.

select * from public.zzz;

if your schema/table name would contain "weird" characters, then put the
identifier inside "quotes", like:

select * from "WeirdyNamedSchema"."badly named table";

If that's not what you're after, you have to be more specific.

Best regards,
