Namespace Resolution

You can grant authorization permissions to a namespace to determine who can access both the namespace and the tables within it.

To resolve a table from a table_name that appears in an SQL statement, the following rules apply:
    • If the table_name contains a namespace name, no resolution is needed, because a qualified table name uniquely identifies a table.
    • If you don't specify a namespace name explicitly, the namespace used is the one contained in the ExecuteOptions instance that is given as input to the executeSync(), execute(), or prepare() methods of TableAPI.
    • If ExecuteOptions doesn't specify a namespace, the default sysdefault namespace is used.

Using different namespaces in ExecuteOptions allows executing the same queries on separate but similar tables.
