Subject: [PATCH] docs: Fix SQL queries in realtime documentation (#41519)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I'm relatively new to supabase, but in my current understanding the SQL
selects are inconsistent with the given example schema as the column is
named `room_topic` there.

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

Yes.

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Updates documentation.
