You have to realize, that the model you see is conceptual model and there's no 1:1 mapping to the shape of store (database). I.e. you can have a Car entity that's composed from two tables, i.e. Vehicle and Car (aka inheritance). I'm not sure what this is good for. But yes, you should be able to get this information from MetadataWorkspace, and definitely from MSL file. Well this isn’t so easy.

Let me know please if you know a way to retrieve the table name from the Entity. For example I may have Entity named SupperCar but the actual table name it is mapped is Car. Do I need to use MetadataWorkspace and CS-Space? I heard that it is not supported yet. Thanks for nice blog.
