# Get a Table Instance

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

You can get a table's instance referring to it using its ID or name.

### Get The Table Instance Using TableID

A table reference can be created by referring the table ID using the `getTable()` SDK method. The `datastore` reference used in the following code snippet is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/get-component-instance/).

```javascript
const datastore = new Datastore();
const table = datastore.table(20660000000012118);
```

### Get The Table Instance Using Table Name

A table reference can be created by referring the table name using the `getTable()` SDK method. The `datastore` reference used in the following code snippet is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/get-component-instance/).

```javascript
const datastore = new Datastore();
const table = datastore.table('VendorShipments');
```
