Make your query fit into the *engine* limit of 64KB for any statement. Note that the 64KB encompasses all white space as well as the run-time size of the data that is plugged into your parameters.

In the IBO scenario, check whether your method of building your SQL statement is being over-zealous in eating white space. If you are not using table aliases, now might be a good time to start doing so.
