Multiple tables in dataset.

I have a table that has a single column that contains the name of other tables. I would like to form a DataSet that has the contents of this table as well as the contents of each of the tables listed by name in this table. For example I have a table:

TableList

TableA
TableB
TableC

TableA

Key1 Description1
Key2 Description2

. . .

I am thinking something like:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM TableList)

But this doesn't work

SELECT * FROM TableA

Unfortunately, the way these table are set up, you'll have explicity determine the table.

...or you could always loop through each entry for TableList.

Would you mind giving me a sample of "looping through the table list"? I am not aware of how to code this and then return the resultant data set?

Thank you.
