## tables.BaseTableCollection


A dict-like collection of tables in a model database.


Usage

``` python
tables.BaseTableCollection(data_table_container)
```


This class provides a base implementation for table collections in a model database.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### \_\_contains\_\_()


Check for a table using case-insensitive matching.


Usage

``` python
__contains__(table_name)
```


##### Parameters


`table_name: str`  
Table name in any casing.


##### Returns


`bool`  
Whether a matching table exists.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### \_\_getitem\_\_()


Get a table by name using case-insensitive matching.


Usage

``` python
__getitem__(table_name)
```


##### Parameters


`table_name: str`  
Table name in any casing.


##### Returns


`BaseTable`  
The requested table.


##### Raises


`KeyError`  
If no table matches `table_name`.


##### Notes

Collection keys retain their canonical MIKE+ casing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### \_\_init\_\_()


Initialize a new BaseTableCollection.


Usage

``` python
__init__(data_table_container)
```


##### Parameters


`data_table_container: DataTableContainer`  
The underlying data table container


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### \_\_iter\_\_()


Get an iterator over table names.


Usage

``` python
__iter__()
```


##### Returns


`Iterator over table names`  


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### \_\_repr\_\_()


Get string representation.


Usage

``` python
__repr__()
```


##### Returns


`str`  
The class name and number of tables.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### items()


Get all (name, table) pairs.


Usage

``` python
items()
```


##### Returns


`ItemsView[str, BaseTable]`  
View of (name, table) pairs


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### keys()


Get all table names.


Usage

``` python
keys()
```


##### Returns


`KeysView[str]`  
View of the table names


------------------------------------------------------------------------


#### values()


Get all table objects.


Usage

``` python
values()
```


##### Returns


`ValuesView[BaseTable]`  
View of the table objects
