table

Identifies a base table that occurs in a subquery or view or that is assigned a correlation name in the from clause of the query.

( table table_name [ qualification ] )

( table ( correlation_name table_name) )

table_name: is a base table. If the query uses the database name and/or owner name, the abstract plan must also provide them.

correlation_name: is the correlation name, if a correlation name is used in the query.

qualification: is either in (subq subquery_id) or in (view view_name).

select * from t1 table1, t2 table2
where table1.c11 = table2.c21

( nl_g_join 
    ( t_scan ( table ( table1 t1 ) ) )
    ( t_scan ( table ( table2 t2 ) ) )
)

Tables t1 and t2 are identified by reference to the correlation names used in the query.

select c11 from t1
where c12 = 
        (select c21 from t2 where c22 = t1.c11)

( nested 
        ( t_scan t1 ) 
        ( subq 1 
                ( t_scan ( table t2 ( in ( subq 1 ) ) ) ) 
        ) 
)

Table t2 in the subquery is identified by reference to the subquery.

create view v1
as
select * from t1 where c12 > 100

select t1.c11 from t1, v1
where t1.c12 = v1.c11

( nl_g_join 
        ( t_scan t1 ) 
        ( i_scan 2 ( table t1 ( in ( view v1 ) ) ) )

Table t1 in the view is identified by reference to the view.

The specified abstract plan derived tables in the abstract plan are matched against the positionally corresponding tables specified in the query.
The table operator is used to link table names in an abstract plan to the corresponding table in a SQL query in queries that contain views, subqueries, and correlation names for tables.
When correlation names are used, all references to the table, including those in the scan properties section, are in the form:
```
( table ( correlation_name table_name) )
```
The table operator is used for all references to the table, including the scan properties for the table under the props operator.
