Thank you, that's an interesting problem. The fact is that there is no easy way, as far as I can see, to override the settings that ExecuteSql will use; and by default it seems to expect some database constraint to be respected. Unfortunately it's also hard to figure out which constraint is failing, in a query this big -- and it's puzzling that it seems to work fine elsewhere.
For your immediate needs, there is a simple workaround. Configure your query as a SQL Data Adapter, using custom variables where necessary, then use BRApi.Dashboards.Process.GetAdoDataSetForAdapter to execute it from a rule. That should get the job done.
Beyond that, if you want to get a different resolution (e.g. a better error message, or a change in api to allow extra parameters like this to be passed to ExecuteSQL), then you can open a case with Support and work with them. This might take some time though, and because it's about a custom operation on the api, they may or may not provide a resolution.
Thanks Jack and wonderful folks here for discussing this.
I agree with Jack's suggestion to Configure query as a SQL Data Adapter, using custom variables(Using BRString() maybe where necessary, then use BRApi.Dashboards.Process.GetAdoDataSetForAdapter to execute it from a rule as a workaround.
FYI.
The two queries that worked both in data adapter and code are:

The Query which worked in the SQL Adapter but didn't work as expected is the mentioned at the Top.
I'm not sure what we're doing differently but I can't get this to generate an error. I tried a few different things. The fact that I'm using a string in the below code vs stringbuilder didn't make a difference (except that the stringbuilder.appendlines hurts my eyes)

Hi Dan,
I tried putting the query in a single string instead of Append. But did not resolve the issue. Hence I worked on the quick work around suggested by Jack (Configure your query as a SQL Data Adapter, using custom variables where necessary, then use BRApi.Dashboards.Process.GetAdoDataSetForAdapter to execute it from a rule) and it worked flawlessly. I will still try to figure if there is some way, we can disable constraint on Executesql command. Maybe first just bring in columns and then disable constraints and then merge the data. (Looks skeptical)
Really appreciate your help here!!!
