This may depend on the actual value of TABLE_NAME, specifically if it is a
mix of upper and lower case, or if it's a reserved keyword. The proper way
is:
*tmp = gda_sql_identifier_quote (TABLE_NAME, cnc, NULL, TRUE, FALSE); // or
with the last argument being TRUE, see the doc*
*g_value_set_string ((mcontext.column_values[0] = gda_value_new
(G_TYPE_STRING)), tmp);
g_free (tmp);
*Note that this is brand new (just been sorted out) and will require the
master or LIBGDA_4.0 branches up to date.*

It should work fine even with removed tables (the table which has been
removed won't appear in the meta store afterwards).
