# Get NoSQL Table Instance

[Catalyst NoSQL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/introduction/) enables you to fetch an empty table instance of a NoSQL table. You can then use this instance to refer to that table and perform all supported table operations. This process will not fire a server-side call. 

You can get an instance of your NoSQL table by referring to the table's name as shown in this section. The `nosql` reference used in the code snippets below is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/cloud-scale/nosql/get-component-instance/) created earlier. 

```python
table = nosql.get_table('employees')
# Create a table instance with the table name
```
