Common table expression

Common table expression

A Common Table Expression, or CTE, (in SQL) is a temporary named result set, derived from a simple query and defined within the execution scope of a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.

CTEs can be thought of as alternatives to derived tables (subquery), views, and inline user-defined functions.

Common table expressions

Common table expressions are supported by DB2, Firebird [1], Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and H2 (experimental)[2]. Syntax:

WITH [RECURSIVE] with_query [, ...]
SELECT...

with_query looks like

with_query_name [ (column_name [,...]) ] AS (SELECT ...)
