Support SQL Parameterization - Tables With Different Structures

Currently there is support for parameterizing variables in custom SQL dataset in Dataprep. However it requires that the tables using this feature have the same table structure. This request is to allow this same functionality but with tables that have different table structures.

Example:

Table A

dev.animals.dogs

name | height | weight


Table B

dev.animals.cats

name| isFriendly


Would like to use a query where we have 1 custom SQL dataset where we just say

SELECT * FROM dev.animals.[typeOfAnimal]

typeOfAnimal being the parameterized variable with a default of dogs.
