Nested sub-queries

That's DBMS-specific. I don't believe that the ANSI-SQL standard (for which this is the forum) defines limits like that.
Where such limits do exist its probably tied to some decision made by a programmer deep in the internals of the DBMS code. Why? Probably because he (or she) could.

Golom:
Thanks for the answer. I actually got some pretty good ones from a DBA I know.
Sybase allows a maximum of sixteen (16) sub-queries.
MS SQL server allows two hundred fifty three (253) sub-queries.
Oracle has no upper limit though I'm sure there must be a functional limit at some point.
He did not know about MySQL or any of the lesser packages.
