exceeded maximum allowable equivalence number Explanation: The number of join equivalences used in a request exceeds the limit. The limit is 32 in Rdb versions prior to 7.0, and it is 1024 in later versions. User Action: Break up the query into separate requests, materialize the results of each request, and then join each result to get the intended result. If temporary table support is available in the version of Rdb you are using, you can use the temporary tables to store the result of each request.
