/**
 * Table.
 *
 * The typical way for a table to be created is when Calcite interrogates a
 * user-defined schema in order to validate names appearing in a SQL query.
 * Calcite finds the schema by calling {@link Schema#getSubSchema(String)} on
 * the connection's root schema, then gets a table by calling
 * {@link Schema#getTable(String)}.
 *
 * Note that a table does not know its name. It is in fact possible for
 * a table to be used more than once, perhaps under multiple names or under
 * multiple schemas. (Compare with the
 * i-node concept in the UNIX
 * filesystem.)
 *
 * A particular table instance may also implement {@link Wrapper},
 * to give access to sub-objects.
 *
