function views_many_to_one_helper::add_table

Add a table to the query.

This is an advanced concept; not only does it add a new instance of the table, but it follows the relationship path all the way down to the relationship link point and adds *that* as a new relationship and then adds the table to the relationship, if necessary.

views_many_to_one_helper

This many to one helper object is used on both arguments and filters.
