The table gt_pk_metadata is an optional table that GeoTools (and GeoServer) use to work out what the primary key columns in a view are. It is needed to generate consistent feature IDs (FIDS) otherwise GeoTools will use the feature's java ID which will change from run to run.

It is explained in this document. So you can ignore this error if you don't care about consistent feature IDs (FIDS) across server restarts.

Table or view named GT_PK_METADA in public shema does not exists in your database. Postgresql uses lower cases by default. So if you have GT_PK_METADATA in your database your query should be SELECT * FROM public."GT_PK_METADATA"
