Set a static variable inside the query itself

(
  SELECT
    'users' as 'table'
  FROM users
)
UNION ALL
(
  SELECT
    'messages' as 'table'
  FROM messages
)

Query:

 

<pre>SELECT * FROM sys.tables</pre> or <pre>SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U'</pre> --- If you are using Oracle, you can use one of these: <pre>SELECT * FROM all_tables;</pre> or <pre>SELECT * FROM all_objects WHERE object_type = 'TABLE';</pre>

Sometimes, the process of building and using queries is a simple matter of selecting fields from a table, perhaps applying some criteria, and then viewing the results. But what if, as is more often the case, the data you need is spread out in more than one table? Fortunately, you can build a query that combines information from multiple sources......
