@Param2 nvarchar(50),
@Param3 nvarchar(50),
@Param4 nvarchar(50)
AS

declare @query nvarchar(4000)
SET @query='SELECT Id, col1, col2, col3, col4 FROM myTable '+
    (case when ((@Param1 is null) and (@Param2 is null) and (@Param3 is null) and (@Param4 is null))
    then ''
    else
        'where '+
        (case when @Param1 is not null
        then ' col1 like '''+@param1+'%'''+
            (case when @param2 is not null then ' AND ' else '' end)
        else '' end)+
        (case when @Param2 is not null
        then ' col2 like '''+@param2+'%'''+
            (case when @param3 is not null then ' AND ' else '' end)
        else '' end)+
        (case when @Param3 is not null
        then ' col3 like '''+@param3+'%'''+
            (case when @param4 is not null then ' AND ' else '' end)
        else '' end)+
        (case when @Param4 is not null
        then ' col4 like '''+@param4+'%'''
        else '' end)
