odf_views views2,
odf_subviews sv1,
odf_subviews sv2,
odf_view_attributes attrs1,
odf_view_attributes attrs2
WHERE views1.view_type = 'filter'
AND views2.view_type = 'filter'
AND attrs1.view_id = views1.ID
AND attrs2.view_id = views2.ID
AND sv1.parent_view_id = sv2.parent_view_id
AND sv1.child_view_id = views1.id
AND sv2.child_view_id = views2.id
AND views2.view_subtype = 'fieldList'
AND attrs1.attribute_code = attrs2.attribute_code
AND attrs2.section_id = -1
