If you are receiving a 200 with an empty array being returned, it is most likely a permissions issue. Run the following query to ensure your user has appropriate privileges.

SELECT table_catalog, table_schema, table_name, privilege_type FROM information_schema.table_privileges WHERE grantee = 'YOUR_USER';
