*
* Table functions are not relevant to other functions.
* The table function can be specified in the FROM section instead of the [db.]Table
* The table function returns a temporary StoragePtr object that is used to execute the query.
*
* Example:
* SELECT count() FROM remote('example01-01-1', merge, hits)
* - go to `example01-01-1`, in `merge` database, `hits` table.
