/** encapsulates functionality which you might find useful when writing a
database application which deals with query and table names.
<p>The most important task fulfilled by this instance is that it hides
different naming restrictions from you, which are caused by server-side
or client side specialties.</p>
<p>For instance, it can validate names against
the characters allowed in the object names of a connection. Also, it
relieves you from caring whether a database supports queries in a <code>SELECT</code>
statement's <code>FROM</code> part (known as "queries in queries"). In such
databases, query and table names share a common namespace, thus they must be
unique. Using this interface, you can easily ensure this uniqueness.</p>
<p>All of the functionality present in this interface depends on a connection,
thus it entry point for obtaining it is a com::sun::star::sdb::Connection
service.</p>
<p>The component itself does not have life-time control mechanisms, i.e. you
cannot explicitly dispose it (com::sun::star::lang::XComponent::dispose()),
and you cannot be notified when it dies.<br/>
However, if your try to access any of its methods or attributes, after the
connection which was used to create it was closed, a com::sun::star::lang::DisposedException
will be thrown.</p>
