Class TableInfo
Base class for typed table information classes. Each typed subclass represents a table; each instance of a subclass represents one instance of a table in a query (multiple instances are automatically assigned unique correlation identifiers in the generated SQL, and must be explicitly joined to avoid a colossal cross product).
Typed subclasses for each known table are available through the TablesInfo class and its various static factory methods. Typed table info instances are also available from Rows and Entities objects and their corresponding CustomSearch nested classes.
