Hi to all, I need help about the following issue: in my db I've three table which have the same column (there are some reasons for that) I'd like to perform a select statement like that: select my_column from xxx_table . Where xxx could be choosen from another table result. for example : select my_column from (select name_table from catalog where condition1) now the internal select has to return the name of the table which is linked to the condition1 (let me say condition1_table) so after the inner select has been perfomed, I should have select my_column from condition1_table Is it possible ? Second question: is there a system variable where the name of the db is stored ? how can I recall it?
