WHERE NumColumn BETWEEN 5 AND 10

WHERE NumColumn >= 5 
AND NumColumn <= 10

the number of columns appears in the corresponding SELECT statements must be equal.
The columns appear in  the corresponding positions of each SELECT statement must have the same data type or at least convertible data type.

Select T1CL1,T1CL2 from T1 where T1CL3 = 'Something'
union all
Select T2CL1,T2CL3 from T2 where T1CL2 = 'prm1'
union all
Select T3CL3,T3CL4 from T3 where T3CL2 = 'prm2'
union all
Select T4CL1,T4CL3 from T4 where T4CL2 = 'prm3'
union all
Select T5CL1,T5CL3 from T5 where T1CL2 = 'prm4'

// This needs MARS:

using (var outerCommand = new SqlCommand("...", connection))

    connection.Open();
    using (IDataReader outerReader = outerCommand.ExecuteReader())
    {
        while (outerReader.Read())
        {
            using (var innerCommand = new SqlCommand("...", connection))
            {
                using (IDataReader innerReader = innerCommand.ExecuteReader())
                {

                        ...

                }
            }
