TABLE and DB Functions Contrasted

Syntax

Description

Returns the name of the current table.

Discussion

Although the corresponding TABLE()and DB() functions are similar, there are differences between the two. The TABLE() functions have a simpler syntax, and are more powerful because they take a full filter expression. However, the TABLE() functions tend to be slower unless they can take advantage of Lightning Query Optimization. The DB() functions are more complex to write and are less flexible, but execute quicker.
