Question:
Is there a limit on the number of tables that can be joined in SQL?

Answer:
In SQL Server version 6.5 there is an upper limit of 16 tables when creating a SQL statement. In version 7, this number will be expanded. To be honest, most of the time either the database design or the SQL written is in real trouble if more than 16 tables are needed.
