    No, your question is not clear
    What are you trying to achieve ?
    Why would you want to store tables name in database ?

    Your problem must be solved using unique IDs, i guess

    The link that the user clicks should be created with a querystring (e.g. nextpage.aspx?cnt=table1).

    On nextpage, get the value of cnt (whichin this case is table1) and get the data for table1 in the page_load event.

    Or using querystrings just add a parameter to a sqldatasource control and bind it to the relevant control

    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
        ConnectionString = "<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString" %>"
        SelectCommand = "Select * from @TableName;">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="TableName" QueryStringField="cnt" Type="String" />
        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>
