- Method Detail
  - getSchema
```
Schema getSchema()
```
    Get the table schema.
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    The name of this table.
  - getComment
```
String getComment()
```
    The comment given to the table.
    If this Table is a generated table from your database, it may provide its DDL comment through this method. All other table expressions return the empty string "" here, never null.
  - recordType
```
RecordType<R> recordType()
```
    The record type produced by this table.
  - getRecordType
```
Class<? extends R> getRecordType()
```
    The record type produced by this table.
  - getDataType
```
DataType<R> getDataType()
```
    The table's record type as a UDT data type, in case the underlying database supports table records as UDT records.
  - newRecord
```
R newRecord()
```
    Create a new Record of this table's type.
    
    See Also:
    
    DSLContext.newRecord(Table)
  - getIdentity
```
Identity<R,?> getIdentity()
```
    Retrieve the table's IDENTITY information, if available.
    With SQL:2003, the concept of IDENTITY columns was introduced in most RDBMS. These are special kinds of columns that have auto-increment functionality when INSERT statements are performed.
    An IDENTITY column is usually part of the PRIMARY KEY or of a UNIQUE KEY in the table, although in some RDBMS, this is not required. There can only be at most one IDENTITY column.
    Note: Unfortunately, this is not supported in the Oracle dialect, where identities emulated by triggers cannot be formally detected.
    
    Returns:
    
    The table's IDENTITY information, or null, if no such information is available.
  - getPrimaryKey
```
UniqueKey<R> getPrimaryKey()
```
    Retrieve the table's primary key
    
    Returns:
    
    The primary key. This is never null for an updatable table.
  - getRecordVersion
```
TableField<R,? extends Number> getRecordVersion()
```
    A "version" field holding record version information used for optimistic locking
    jOOQ supports optimistic locking in UpdatableRecord.store() and UpdatableRecord.delete() if Settings.isExecuteWithOptimisticLocking() is enabled. Optimistic locking is performed in a single UPDATE or DELETE statement if tables provide a "version" or "timestamp" field, or in two steps using an additional SELECT .. FOR UPDATE statement otherwise.
    This method is overridden in generated subclasses if their corresponding tables have been configured accordingly. A table may have both a "version" and a "timestamp" field.
    
    Returns:
    
    The "version" field, or null, if this table has no "version" field.
    
    See Also:
    
    getRecordTimestamp(), UpdatableRecord.store(), UpdatableRecord.delete(), Settings.isExecuteWithOptimisticLocking()
  - getRecordTimestamp
```
TableField<R,? extends Date> getRecordTimestamp()
```
    A "timestamp" field holding record timestamp information used for optimistic locking
    jOOQ supports optimistic locking in UpdatableRecord.store() and UpdatableRecord.delete() if Settings.isExecuteWithOptimisticLocking() is enabled. Optimistic locking is performed in a single UPDATE or DELETE statement if tables provide a "version" or "timestamp" field, or in two steps using an additional SELECT .. FOR UPDATE statement otherwise.
    This method is overridden in generated subclasses if their corresponding tables have been configured accordingly. A table may have both a "version" and a "timestamp" field.
    
    Returns:
    
    The "timestamp" field, or null, if this table has no "timestamp" field.

  - at
```
@Support(value=ORACLE)
Table<R> at(String link)
```

    See Also:
    
    DSL.link(String)
  - at
```
@Support(value=ORACLE)
Table<R> at(Name link)
```
    A table reference of this table at a given Link.
    
    See Also:
    
    DSL.link(Name)
  - at
```
@Support(value=ORACLE)
Table<R> at(Link link)
```
    A table reference of this table at a given Link.
  - as
```
@Support
Table<R> as(String alias)
```
    Create an alias for this table.
    Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned table depends on Settings.getRenderNameStyle(). By default, table aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive!
    
    Parameters:
    
    alias - The alias name
    
    Returns:
    
    The table alias
  - as
```
@Support
Table<R> as(String alias,
                      String... fieldAliases)
```
    Create an alias for this table and its fields
    Note that the case-sensitivity of the returned table and columns depends on Settings.getRenderNameStyle(). By default, table aliases are quoted, and thus case-sensitive!
    
    Derived column lists for table references
    
    Note, not all databases support derived column lists for their table aliases. On the other hand, some databases do support derived column lists, but only for derived tables. jOOQ will try to turn table references into derived tables to make this syntax work. In other words, the following statements are equivalent:
```
 -- Using derived column lists to rename columns (e.g. Postgres)
 SELECT t.a, t.b
 FROM my_table t(a, b)

 -- Nesting table references within derived tables (e.g. SQL Server)
 SELECT t.a, t.b
 FROM (
   SELECT * FROM my_table
 ) t(a, b)
 
```
    Derived column lists for derived tables
    
    Other databases may not support derived column lists at all, but they do support common table expressions. The following statements are equivalent:
```
 -- Using derived column lists to rename columns (e.g. Postgres)
 SELECT t.a, t.b
 FROM (
   SELECT 1, 2
 ) AS t(a, b)

 -- Using UNION ALL to produce column names (e.g. MySQL)
 SELECT t.a, t.b
 FROM (
   SELECT null a, null b FROM DUAL WHERE 1 = 0
   UNION ALL
   SELECT 1, 2 FROM DUAL
 ) t
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    alias - The alias name
    
    fieldAliases - The field aliases. Excess aliases are ignored, missing aliases will be substituted by this table's field names.
    
    Returns:
    
    The table alias

```
  - equals
```
boolean equals(Object other)
```
    Check whether this QueryPart can be considered equal to another QueryPart.
    In general, QueryPart equality is defined in terms of QueryPart.toString() equality. In other words, two query parts are considered equal if their rendered SQL (with inlined bind variables) is equal. This means that the two query parts do not necessarily have to be of the same type.
    Some QueryPart implementations may choose to override this behaviour for improved performance, as QueryPart.toString() is an expensive operation, if called many times.
    Watch out! This is Object.equals(Object), not a jOOQ DSL feature!

```
@Support(value={ORACLE11G,ORACLE12C})
PivotForStep pivot(Field<?>... aggregateFunctions)
```
    Create a new TABLE reference from this table, pivoting it into another form.
    This has been observed to work with
    - SQLDialect.ORACLE11G upwards
    - SQLDialect.SQLSERVER (not yet officially supported)
    - Other dialects by using some means of emulation (not yet officially supported)
    Parameters:
    
    aggregateFunctions - The aggregate functions used for pivoting.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DSL object to create the PIVOT expression
  - pivot
```
@Support(value={ORACLE11G,ORACLE12C})
PivotForStep pivot(Collection<? extends Field<?>> aggregateFunctions)
```

    For more details, see pivot(Field...)
    
    Parameters:
    
    aggregateFunctions - The aggregate functions used for pivoting.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DSL object to create the PIVOT expression

  - divideBy
```
@Support
DivideByOnStep divideBy(Table<?> divisor)
```
    Create a new TABLE reference from this table, applying relational division.
    Relational division is the inverse of a cross join operation. The following is an approximate definition of a relational division:
```
 Assume the following cross join / cartesian product
 C = A × B

 Then it can be said that
 A = C ÷ B
 B = C ÷ A
 
```
    With jOOQ, you can simplify using relational divisions by using the following syntax:
```
 C.divideBy(B).on(C.ID.equal(B.C_ID)).returning(C.TEXT)
 
```
    The above roughly translates to
```
 SELECT DISTINCT C.TEXT FROM C "c1"
 WHERE NOT EXISTS (
   SELECT 1 FROM B
   WHERE NOT EXISTS (
     SELECT 1 FROM C "c2"
     WHERE "c2".TEXT = "c1".TEXT
     AND "c2".ID = B.C_ID
   )
 )
 
```
    Or in plain text: Find those TEXT values in C whose ID's correspond to all ID's in B. Note that from the above SQL statement, it is immediately clear that proper indexing is of the essence. Be sure to have indexes on all columns referenced from the on(...) and returning(...) clauses.
    For more information about relational division and some nice, real-life examples, see
    - http ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra#Division
    - http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql-programming/divided-we-stand-the- sql-of-relational-division/
    This has been observed to work with all dialects
  - leftSemiJoin
```
@Support
TableOnStep<R> leftSemiJoin(TableLike<?> table)
```
    A synthetic LEFT SEMI JOIN clause that translates to an equivalent EXISTS predicate.
    The following two SQL snippets are semantically equivalent:
```
 -- Using LEFT SEMI JOIN
 FROM A
     LEFT SEMI JOIN B
         ON A.ID = B.ID

 -- Using WHERE EXISTS
 FROM A
 WHERE EXISTS (
     SELECT 1 FROM B WHERE A.ID = B.ID
 )
 
```
  - leftAntiJoin
```
@Support
TableOnStep<R> leftAntiJoin(TableLike<?> table)
```
    A synthetic LEFT ANTI JOIN clause that translates to an equivalent NOT EXISTS predicate.
    The following two SQL snippets are semantically equivalent:
```
 -- Using LEFT ANTI JOIN
 FROM A
     LEFT ANTI JOIN B
         ON A.ID = B.ID

 -- Using WHERE NOT EXISTS
 FROM A
 WHERE NOT EXISTS (
     SELECT 1 FROM B WHERE A.ID = B.ID
 )
