Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table side by side

[pjas002]

I want to display 3 tables side by side with an arrow connecting them. I also want to write something on top of this arrow. Can someone please tell me how to do this in latex? Following is the code, but that displays table underneath another one and i want side by side. Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
