In TYPO3 properties could be set on different places, e.g. via
ext_conf_template.txt and these information are stored in
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf'][<extKey>].

Anonther possibility could be a direct assignment via TCA or TSconfig to
the table directly. But there might be an other extension ("worker")
that doesn't know much about the first extension ("my_extension") but
has to perform actions, depending on the TSconfig or extConf settings.

t3lib_install offers some functions to parse ext_tables.sql but this
could take some time if there are many extensions.

It's not possible to use string comparison because the table name
"tx_myextension_data" could be part of extension "my_extension" or
"myextension".
