</table>
<p>Takes a column or table name (optionally with an alias)
and applies the configured <em>dbprefix</em> to it.</p>
<p>Some logic is necessary in order to deal with
column names that include the path.</p>
<p>Consider a query like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">database</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">table</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">column</span> <span class="k">AS</span> <span class="nx">c</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">database</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">table</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or a query with aliasing:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nx">SELECT</span> <span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">member_id</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">m</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">member_name</span> <span class="nx">FROM</span> <span class="nx">members</span> <span class="k">AS</span> <span class="nx">m</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Since the column name can include up to four segments
(host, DB, table, column) or also have an alias prefix,
we need to do a bit of work to figure this out and
insert the table prefix (if it exists) in the proper
position, and escape only the correct identifiers.</p>
<p>This method is used extensively by the Query Builder class.</p>
