I am trying a query using derived tables, but have had little success. 
Tables follow:

user_table
-----------
|user|tbl |
-----------
|bud |t2  |
|guy |t4  |
|abc |t5  |
-----------

t2
-------
|a|b|c|
-------
|data |
-------

t4
-------
|d|e|f|
-------
|data |
-------

etc...

I would like to select data from a table based on information found in
the user table, and I am using the following query:

select t1.* from (select tbl from user_table where user="guy") t1;

This should return the data fom table t4, but I only get results from
the subquery (ie. the query returns t4, not it's contents).  Where am I
going wrong?

I am using version 4.1.0-alpha-standard
