Please forgive my ignorance, I only recently learned about Fusion Tables and scripting for Google Maps.  I'm a quick learner when given examples to draw from.  I searched for this topic, but came up short - hence my post.
 
I have a single table (link below) that contains many, many columns.  Is it possible to create separate visible layers (with separate symbology) based upon each column within this single table?
 
My goal is a map with a user-selectable drop down menu (or checkboxes) for each column.
 
The alternative, I realize, would be to upload separate tables for each column.  This would be much more time consuming and much less convenient, especially when updating the table(s).
 
 
I appreciate any advice.  Thanks!

Pretty sure there is nothing stopping you creating multiple
FusionTablesLayer's all drawing from the same actual table.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#FusionTables

Each could have a different 'where' (to select different rows) and/or
different styles (so they look different)

(but there is a limit to the number of layers, I think 5 or 8)
