Common Table Expressions (CTEs) are an integral feature in SQL Server, enabling developers to produce more organized, readable, and maintainable code. Recognizing their importance, we’ve invested over 9 years into curating a course that encompasses every facet of CTEs. Drawing from experiences presenting at esteemed conferences, authoring a specialized book, and hosting myriad online sessions, we’re proud to present this comprehensive course this November.

CTEs provide temporary result sets that can be used in a multitude of operations, from SELECT to DELETE. Their primary strength is in streamlining complex queries, making them far more approachable. Introduced using the WITH clause, CTEs can be woven seamlessly into your primary query, behaving just like a standard table or view.

Delving into CTE Features

Among the multitude of functionalities that CTEs offer, they are particularly noted for facilitating recursive queries. This course provides insights into such queries, helping learners navigate hierarchical data structures and more. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Whether you’re dealing with a layered query replete with subqueries or looking to refine and consolidate your SQL scripts, our CTE course offers strategies and techniques to enhance your approach.

To support your learning, participants will be gifted a FREE electronic copy of Steve’s extensive Common Table Expressions guide, featuring over 250 instructive pages.

Upon course completion, participants will be proficient in:

  • Constructing recursive queries using CTEs.
  • Utilizing CTEs as transient views.
  • Incorporating CTE result sets in multiple segments of a single query.
  • Streamlining and elevating query syntax with the aid of CTEs.

CTEs represent more than just a feature in SQL Server; they’re a transformative toolkit, elevating query writing from a routine task to an art form.
