sql.getTable ( Customers::__primaryKey )
  Sample output:
"Customers"

  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Returns the plain text TABLE NAME in a format suitable for an SQL query. This allows you to use fully qualified field names (to protect against name changes) in your calculations, while safely wrapping the result for ExecuteSQL purposes.
