Question

i have for example:

tableAaa:
id | titleSSS
1  | sfdf
2  | sdfs

tableBbb:
id | titleUUU
1  | sfdf
2  | sdfs

tableCcc:
id | titleIII
1  | sfdf
2  | sdfs

etc, for example * 10.

Is possible make something like:

SELECT title* FROM table*

If yes, how?

EDIT: i dont want use UNION and do select from each table… These table is ~100. I would like make regular expression.

Answer 1

You can do it, but you’ll have to list all column and table names manually:

SELECT titleSSS FROM tableAaa
UNION ALL
SELECT titleUUU FROM tableBbb
UNION ALL
SELECT titleIII FROM tableCcc

Note that you must use UNION ALL instead of UNION or otherwise you won’t get duplicate rows in the output. Read more here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/union.html
