Rewriting select statements

I want to have the server do this:

If the query has no where clause, use a where clause of "where 1=0". 

Is this possible?

Why would I want to do this? Because a third party library (ArcGIS) has a
"feature" such that when a relation name is registered with it, it does a
"select * from <relation>" and then does nothing with the results. It looks
like it's just checking the field names or the fact that the relation
exists. In this case, it's selecting a view that joins 14 tables. The main
table has 350,000 rows, and some of the subsidiary tables have up to 1.5
million rows. This view is not queried without a where clause during the
normal execution of the program, so to save between 6 and 20 minutes of
startup time depending on server load, I'd like to be able to add the where
clause.

Thanks for any help,
Phil Cairns.
