Answer 1

First of all check if your table name is correct

<table>membership</table>

Also you have syntax error in resource model definition

<resoursemodel>membership_mysql4</resoursemodel>

resourceModel - word "model" should start with capital letter (i.e. Model).

<resourceModel>membership_mysql4</resourceModel>

After changes clear cache.

Answer 2

I got this error when my class name wasn't the same with the last part of the name from my custom table.

Example:

class name was: Mynamespace_Mymodule_Model_Resource_Order and my table was mynamespace_mymodule_orders, so I changed my model, my resource model and the collection model into Mynamespace_Mymodule_Model_Resource_Orders.

I posted this, maybe will help someone. Thnx
