I recommend you change your design. You'll have nothing but trouble with this. Merge all tables into a single table with the extra "service" column. > What I want to do is to query table A and get from it > the name of table B which is then accessed. > What I tried is the following: > > SELECT * > FROM ( > SELECT service > FROM A > WHERE a_key = 1 > ) No, this is not going to work, nor anything substantially similar. You will have to use "SELECT service FROM A WHERE a_key = 1" in your application to retrieve the table name, then build "select * from tableName" query on the fly.
