I have 20 tables in Oracle, all of them contain (among others) the following columns: id, name, description and notes. I would like the user to enter a text, the text to be searched in either name, description and/or notes of all the tables, and the result to return which table(s) and id(s) has the text.

In the Logstash 7.0 configuration file, do I need to define one jdbc input for each table? Or should the input be a single select with an union of all the tables?
