Table Naming Rules
All tables are identified with table names which are string values
You can either use table names with or without quotation marks.
Similar to variable names, speaces are supported. Use quotation marks if the name contains multiple consecutive spaces and/or special symbols
Multiple consecutive white spaces in strings without quotation marks reduce to one space.
You can also specify an
RHS Expression
which returns a string containing the retrieved or calculated name
Names may begin or end with numbers, even with spaces inbetween, e.g.
4200 Pennsylvania Ave.
.
Blank table names are also allowed, e.g.
['':0,0]
, but not recommended if you want to keep code quality high.
