database design:dnamically build where clause

Hi
I am creating a table to store metadata information for certain technical
parameters which are stored in various tables.
These parameters have various criteria to determine if they are compliant to
certain predefined conditions or not.I will explain with an example:
For ex,
paramA is compliant if its value is 50
paramB is compliant if its value is between 0 and 2
paramC is compliant if its value is 35% of another column
paramD is complaint depending on colA,ColB,ColC
If colA = 5 then paramD is compliant if paramD=2.
If colB = 10 then paramD is compliant if paramD=3
If colC =50 then paramD is complaint if paramD=70
paramE is compliant if is 1 or 0
So my table has fields such as
DDId,
ParamName
ParamDBname
ParamTableName
Compliancecondition(varchar 200)
etc.
I need to store the information regarding these compliant conditions so that
I can build my queries like
select <paramName>,case when<compliance condition is true> then 1 else 0,
from <paramDB>.<paramTable>
where<compliancecondition>
but this will result in dynamic SQL.is there a better way to store the
information for these varying compliance conditions?
thanks for your help.
etcLooks like you need something like a rules engine to satisfy your dynamic
needs. Check this nice article on this subject to see if its useful for your
scenario:
