Integrate function to determine extension key from a table name and vice versa
Added by Oliver Hader about 17 years ago.
Updated almost 9 years ago.
Description
Sometimes it could be necessarry to know which table belongs to which extension key. If such a mapping is integrated, the inverse function is also possible.
e.g.
table 'tx_myextension_data' -> extension 'my_extension'
extension 'my_extension' -> tables 'tx_myextension_data,tx_myextension_categories'
The results should be stored in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_LOADED_EXT'][<extKey>]['tables'] and $GLOBALS['TYPO3_LOADED_TABLES'][<tableName>].

Files
Please see the attached file 0004877.patch.
A new watchTables method was integrated to t3lib_extMgm, that just watches the inclusion of new tables while processing the cached ext_tables.php file. Tables are are assigne to a key (and vice versa) by comparison of TCA before and after the processing of an extension's ext_tables.php file.
The PNG shows the structure of TYPO3_LOADED_TABLES using Tools>Configuration.
I guess this functionality is only useful when you are able to retrieve the extenension key to a table at ANY time. What happens when you deinstall the extension and afterward ask for the origin of a still existing table of that extension?
