using sql query as a table name

784924Aug 5 2010 — edited Aug 5 2010
hello,

I have a table(say table1) which is storing the names of some other tables. I want to access the name of a table from table1 using sql query and then use the result of this query as the table name to access the data from
retrieved table name. How can I do this ?

ex:

select * from (select tablename from table1 where tableid='1');

I want to do something likw this. How can I do this?
