Please check below script.

insert into customer_1 values(2);
insert into customer_1 values(3);

create table customer_2
(
cust_id int
);

insert into customer_1 values(4);
insert into customer_1 values(5);
insert into customer_1 values(6);

create table customer_3
(
cust_id int
);

insert into customer_1 values(7);
insert into customer_1 values(8);
insert into customer_1 values(9);


select cust_id from customer_1
union all
select cust_id from customer_2
union all
select cust_id from customer_3;

If you are looking for a combined table with all users under the same columns, use UNION OR UNION ALL. If some of the tables are missing columns, you could just enter null in the select list:

If not, you can CROSS JOIN them or use some parent-child join logic.
