the table/subquery nesting levels in the query outline do not match the query Explanation: The subquery hierarchy of the query outline does not match the subquery hierarchy of the query. Subqueries or tables can be omitted from the query outline, but for each subquery that is present, all containing subqueries must also be present. User Action: Edit the query outline to correct the inconsistency, or regenerate a new outline by running the optimizer. Then make the desired modifications to the new outline.
