Do you need the columns from both tables in one single column? Then you
have to join this tables, i don't know how you want to join this tables.

What i meant was:

you can use this:

for i in select * from "Table1" union all select * from "Table2" loop
  -- do something
end loop;

within a pl/pgsql-function.
