Getting list of table names/ Getting origin table of row object

This shows one way to

a) get a list of table names

Table names are recorded explicitly in your app’s Database Schema. Here’s one way to get that information, and more:

Can I download my Database Schema map

Yes. It’s undocumented, and subject to change without notice, but I’ve found two ways to get this information. Back up your App as a downloadable file. This file is in .yaml format, and can be read using any yaml library. The schema is filed in two ways: one under key db_schema and one under key exported_table_schema. Each is formatted a bit differently, but they’re not too hard to decipher. If you’re using Git to maintain a local copy of your source code, you’ll find it under key db_schem…

You can find table ids in exported_table_schema. Check these against the row’s id, and you should spot a pattern.

This correspondence is also undocumented, and subject to change without notice. So I wouldn’t rely on either one for too long. You may want to add your own bookkeeping columns, if you need to.
