I don't see how this is supposed to work, in general. For one thing, tables might have different number of columns. > I understand I can do multiple selects, but the command gets > very long if there are a lot of tables. No, there is no magic bullet. If you want a union of 100 tables, you need to write 100 selects joined by UNION ALL. I suspect you can solve your problem by changing your database design. When I see people want to do something like this, it's usually because they have many identical tables - e.g. each representing sales data for one month (with a new table created each month). The SQL way is to have a single table instead, with an extra column representing the month each record is for.
