# Get a Table Instance

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/get-table-instance/) now.

A table reference can be created by the following methods which would not fire a server-side call. The datastore
reference used in the below code snippets is the
[component instance.](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/get-component-instance)

### Get the table instance using tableID

A table reference can be created by referring the table ID using the `getTable()` method.

```javascript
//Get a Single Table without details using table ID
let datastore = app.datastore(); 
let table = datastore.table(1510000000110121);
```

### Get the table instance using table name

Alternatively, A table reference can be created by referring the table name using the `getTable()`
method.

There is no promise involved in these methods and the instance of the table alone is returned.

```javascript
//Get a Single Table without details using table name 
let datastore = app.datastore(); 
let table = datastore.table('SampleTable');
```
