Hello, To get information about a view whose name is in another table, I would create a view with a parameter for the name and create a join view with two views that contains the same name by doing the following steps: 1. Prepare the view that has the names of tables 2. Create a jdbc datasource pointed at the VDP you're running on 3. Create base view from query with a parameter by selecting the ‘Create from query’ option. Enter the view name and then SQL query with an interpolation variable on the dialog like an example below: `Select * from @tablename` 4. Create a Join view between the two views in a select statement on the parameter equaling the column in the other view that contains the target table name. For example: `SELECT <select fields> From view_1 AS a JOIN view_2 as b on a."TABLENAME" = b.name` I would keep in mind that all of the tables that I queried must have the same schema. The document [Creating Base Views from SQL Queries](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/6.0/vdp/administration/creating_views/importing_data_sources_and_creating_base_views/jdbc_sources#creating-base-views-from-sql-queries) describes how to create base views SQL query that have interpolation variables. I would use this document as a useful reference. Hope this helps!
