searching multiple tables
i have multiple tables that vary very little in name. what i mean by this is they are named tbleffort1, tbleffort2 etc. i need to search all the tables together. there is a large constantly changing number of tables, so i would prefer not to have to write them out one by one! any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Rethink your design. Use one table.

cant do that! every person needs their own seperate table because of the data extraction on the site! there is now around 450 tables so one table is not an option!

then you are s.o.l.

(that's a technical term, it means "outta luck")

you will have to write the table names out one by one

find the people who designed the database and shoot them
