Bigtable stores data in massively scalable tables, each of which is a sorted key/value map. A Cloud Bigtable table is identified by the instance it is contained in and its table_id.

[Table](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1Table). \nBigtable stores data in massively scalable tables, each of which is a sorted key/value map. A Cloud Bigtable table is identified by the instance it is contained in and its `table_id`.\n| **Note:** This class makes no effort to validate the components of the table name. It is the application's responsibility to provide valid project, instance, and table ids. Passing invalid values will not be checked until the table name is used in a RPC to Bigtable.\n\n###### See Also\n\n\u003chttps://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/overview\u003e for an overview of the Cloud Bigtable data model.\n\nConstructors\n------------\n\n### TableResource(InstanceResource, std::string)\n\nConstructs a [TableResource](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1TableResource) object identified by the given `instance` and `table_id`.\n\n### TableResource(std::string, std::string, std::string)\n\nConstructs a [TableResource](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1TableResource) object identified by the given IDs. \nThis is equivalent to first constructing an [`InstanceResource`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1InstanceResource) from the given `project_id` and `instance_id` arguments and then calling the [`TableResource(InstanceResource, std::string)`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1TableResource#classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1TableResource_1ace8acb472881eb3b6cfa1621f0b7c208) constructor.\n\nFunctions\n---------\n\n### instance() const\n\nReturns the [`InstanceResource`](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1InstanceResource) containing this table.\n\n### table_id() const\n\nReturns the [Table](/cpp/docs/reference/bigtable/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1bigtable_1_1Table) ID.\n\n### FullName() const\n\nReturns the fully qualified table name as a string of the form: \"projects/"]]
