SQL Stored Procedure with infinite optional parameters

I want to make a Stored Procedure that has a minimum of 2 required parameters, but that it can also be called with 2,3,4,5... and so on parameters. The Reason: I have multiple tables that have Key-Value pairs, but then this Key-Value can be a group to another list of Key-Value pairs. So that the first one is the parent key to the next list. This is an example of 2 Tables that can be called with the same procedure, which is detailed afterwards:

--MyListTableAlpha
   +- Key1 (ValueA)
   +- Key2 (ValueB)
   +- Key3 (ValueC)
   +- Key4 (ValueD)

--MyListTableBravo
  +- Parent Uno
   +- Key1 (Value1A)
   +- Key2 (Value1B)
  +- Parent Dos
   +- Key1 (Value2A)
   +- Key2 (Value2B)
   +- Key3 (Value3C)

The code has to be for SQL Server 2008.

This is what I have for the 2 paremeter Stored Procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPListValue]
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
    @listName nvarchar(100) = null,
    @keyVal nvarchar(100) = null
  -- optional parameters go here?!?
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    SELECT [value_string] from [tablenames]
    JOIN [keyvalues] on [tablenames].[id] = [keyvalues].[tableid]
    WHERE [dbo].[keyvalues].[key] = @keyVal
END

Table [keyvalues] has 开发者_如何学JAVAthe columns: id,tableid,parentkeyid,key,value. Where parentkeyid is used when the values are grouped to know which one they belong to.

This is how I would like to call MyListTableAlpha from my Java code (notice 2 ?s):

CallableStatement cs1 = conn1.prepareCall("{call SPListValue(?,?}");  //notice 2 ?s
cs1.setString(1, "MyListTableAlpha");
cs1.setString(2, "Key1"); 
ResultSet rs1 = cs1.executeQuery();
rs1.next();
value = rs1.getString("value_string"); // Prints ValueA

This is how I would like to call MyListTableBravo from my Java code (notice 3 ?s):

CallableStatement cs1 = conn1.prepareCall("{call SPListValue(?,?,?}");  //notice 3 ?s
cs1.setString(1, "MyListTableBravo");
cs1.setString(2, "Parent Uno"); 
cs1.setString(3, "Key2");
ResultSet rs1 = cs1.executeQuery();
rs1.next();
value = rs1.getString("value_string"); // Prints Value1B

You may want to consider making a third parameter that contains XML. Then you can put as much info as you want.

This is how I solved it.

Instead of having infinite parameters, I restricted myself to a maximum of 4

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPListValue]
    @listName nvarchar(100) = null,
    @key1Val nvarchar(100) = null,
    @key2Val nvarchar(100) = null,
    @key3Val nvarchar(100) = null,
    @key4Val nvarchar(100) = null
AS
BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;

if @key4Val is not null 

    SELECT fourCE.[value_string] from [tablenames] as fourCE        
    JOIN [keyvalues] as fourLS ON fourCE.[object_id] = fourLS.[parent_id]
