Tables

Property that contains a comma separated list of tables from which data is retrieved. The data is retrieved either from a SmartDataObject or a database.

Data type: CHARACTER

Notes:

Read and Write.
Qualified with database name if the query is defined with dbname.
Currently this property is a design-time property whereas before it was resolved from the actual query.
There is currently no way to change the order of the tables at run time. But it would be even more important to have this as a property if the order of the tables were changed dynamically, because several other properties have table delimiters and are totally dependent on the design time order of this property.
The names in the list references to the tables as defined in the data object and referenced in the query and each entry must be unique. Therefore, the names might be buffer names that differ from the actual physical names, and the physical name is defined in the corresponding PhysicalTables property.
