USE mytable AGAIN in select('mytable')

Yupp, if not running early on into "Alias not found" or similar, when using a table MEANT for singular use (lookup table, Key-value into array...) that happened on "my" error, as the alias was not the expected MyTable and therefore not closed via in select(tcAlias)
