Here are some ideas:

I don't think you can do this in a few commands. However, you could use SQL - SELECT, with a UNION, to combine the tables vertically. The problem is, the individual parts must be "union compatible", meaning they have to have exactly the same fields. Perhaps this is a little bit simpler than your current approach, perhaps it isn't.

For a loop, you can use the field() function to return a field at a specific position. This might be of help, too.

I assume you need this for some kind of report. Perhaps the report is done easier with Excel, using Automation - if this is an option for your system.
