I just ran into this error message.  In my case, I got it working by
adding the name of the database plus a period to the new table's name.
So, if you want a table named "Table1" in database "thedb", just make
sure the "Table name" is set to "thedb.Table1" in the data-pasting
wizard.  Hope that helps!

If others see this same behavior, I think it may be a usability bug.
When right-clicking an existing table in the "Tables" panel to paste
data, it usefully gives "exampledb.existingtable" (modified
appropriately) as the table name, so you can append data to the table
using the wizard.  If you right-click on a database in the same panel,
however, it just gives "Table1" (or something similar) as the table
name, assigning it to no database; not even the one you right-clicked,
which seems to lead to this mostly-unhelpful error.

There's one fix I can think of that should be fairly easy for any devs
getting this message:  use "exampledb.Table1" as the default name, with
"exampledb" replaced by the right-clicked database's name, if it's not
too much trouble.  More ambitiously, one could change the wizard to have
the database and table names as separate entries, possibly with the
database being uneditable.
