What is te maximum allowed nested "If" statements?
What is the Maximum allowed "CASE" in "Select CASE" statement.
I ask because I was using the MS SQL Server Migration Assistant an on one SP, I got the error saying...
"Errors: Some part of your SQL statement is nested too deeply."
Thanks

It's 10 levels in a CASE statement (here's the
page
in the local Books Online). I don't know of a limit on IF statements, but I think it's reasonably safe to say, if you need to worry about the limit, you're probably approaching the problem in an inefficient manner and need to step back and rethink the solution.

I agree with Grant. You might need to rethink the SP.
