i need to combine 10 tables for a query and combine it with several different 'where clause'.
so i made the query into a 'view', called it from a store proc, and put a different 'where clause' in the end for each cases.
but the problem is, it exceeded 256 tables in a query.
do you know how to minimize the uses of the tables, but still can fullfil the needs of different 'where clause'?
regards,
randy"

Have you tried using the CASE statement in the WHERE clause? You probably don't have to do any nesting at all. You could also use derived tables to do this.

Also, post the query and some sample data. Maybe we can see a quick way to improve it.
