// <synopsis> 
// TableExprNodeRep is the base class for all nodes in a table
// expression tree. It is used by the handle class TableExprNode.

// The objects of this class are reference-counted to make it possible
// that the same object is reused.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// TableExprNodeRep and its derivations store a table select expression
// before actually evaluating it. It is also possible that the classes
// are used by the table expression parser defined in TableParse and
// TableGram.
// <br>
// For each operator a special derived class is implemented.
// Another approach could have been to store the operator as
// a flag and switch on that. However, that causes extra overhead
// and the C++ virtual function mechanism is designed for
// these purposes.
