Pass the result of a SQL Query as table_name for another SQL Query

Question

Hi All,
How to pass the result of a SQL Query as parameter to another SQL Query
Eg: I am doing the steps below.
1) select distinct table_name as TAB1 from all_tab_cols where table_name like 'T_%' and column_name like '%XYZ'
2) I want to pass the table_name from step 1 above as parameter to another query "select * from TAB1"
Thanks

ThanksYou should craete PL/SQL code with cursor which will accept a parameter and call that cursor inside the first one
But if the first sql returns only one row, you can do it with simple sql code
select * from (select distinct table_name as TAB1 from all_tab_cols where table_name like 'T_%' and column_name like '%XYZ')- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
