I encountered the same error:

```plaintext
UndefinedColumn: ERROR: column users.email does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."email" = 'test'...

```

I think jomaxro’s reply could be updated with a working example. 🙂  
Also, what would be the command to delete a user using its email address then?
