Getting rid of views is quite often the first step on the path to Enlightenment. Compare the number of columns you want to be returned to the number of columns in the view: is it reasonable? Obviously not. If you absolutely want a view for security reasons, create a specific one for this query, which only returns what is needed. I must say that I am feeling a bit lazy to delve deeply into something which I see very poorly formatted. But first check whence (from which TABLE) come the columns you want to be returned, as well as those which much match the search criteria you are providing. Check whether you can join the required tables together; if not add the required tables to do the links to the stew. Stir. Determine which is the most selective of values from your input. If it really is selective, check that it is properly indexed. Check also that your joins can execute relatively fast. If you have a join on poorly selective columns, read about hash joins. I am not pretending that by then you'll have a fast running query, but you'll have a sounder base for further tuning.
