Have you heard about SOSL ? they are for the same purpose, you can try to read more about them here http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/officetoolkit/Content/sforce_api_calls_sosl.htm

i have little idea about sosl.(to get records from different objects at a time we use sosl) .

Hi,

The from clause in a query must be concrete (i.e you cannot do From %A%).

If you can give a bit more context on what you are trying achieve, we may be able to suggest another approach.

my context is simple that is i have objects like A,A1.....
i want to query the records in batch class from all objects where object name contains A .then i will pass that list to execute method

hi,

You can use SOSL as mentioned by Avidev. It is not possible to query like 'select id from %A%' in salesforce.
Other approach is to query as list<sObject> where you can dynamically pass object name one at a time.
e.g.

public list<sObject> fetchReferenceData(String objectName) {
     String query = 'SELECT id, Name FROM '+objectName+' LIMIT 1000' ;
     list<sObject> sobjectList = Database.query(query);
     return sObjectList;
}

then how can i get list of objects where object Name Like 'A'

public class TestObject {
   Public string ObjectSelected{get;set;}
    Public Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> AllObjmap;
   
    Public TestObject(){
        AllObjmap = New Map<String, Schema.SObjectType>();
        AllObjmap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
        System.debug('******All object Names :'+ AllObjmap.keyset());
    }
   
  
    public void testrecords()
    {
         List<selectoption> objList = new List<selectoption>();
         List<String> testSobj=new List<String>();
         list<sObject> sobjectList=new list<sObject>();
         list<sObject> sobjectList1=new list<sObject>();
        
        for(string s:AllObjmap.keyset()){
            if(s.startsWith('test')&&s.endsWith('__c') ) {
                objList.add(new selectoption(s,s));
            }
        }
        for(selectoption test:objList)
        {
        testSobj.add(test.getLabel());
        system.debug('33333333'+test.getLabel() );
        }
       
        for(String s:testSobj)
        {
             String query = 'SELECT id FROM '+s+' Where Name LIKE\'%test%\' LIMIT 1000' ;
             sobjectList = Database.query(query);
              system.debug('ssssssssss'+sobjectList);
              for(Sobject s1:sobjectList)
              {
              sobjectList1.add(s1);
              }
        }
        system.debug('ssssssssss'+sobjectList1);       
    }
}

in Page:
<apex:page controller="TestObject" action="{!testrecords}">
</apex:page>

like this will get records.
