Subject: query tables based on a query
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 18:47:48 -0400
Message-ID: <aa44f4a30509301547g69dfffcayfe2e967925657822@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have a large number of tables with a common naming convention
basically:
table001, table002, table003 ... table00n
I would like to do a query across all of the tables, however I do not know
all of the tables before hand, and I do not want to manually generate a
query like
select * from table001, table002, table003
I have a query that returns the names of the tables I want to query, it is
basically like this:
select tablename from pg_tables where tablename like 'table%'
How do I do this? I've tried creating a Table Function that returns the
above set and tried to use that in a select clause, but I cant get it to
work either.
Thanks for the help
