What is it all about?
The Common Table Expression (CTE) is one of the more powerful and often overlooked features in Microsoft SQL Server. This book will show some of the more interesting things you can do with a CTE. We will learn how CTEs are a great alternative to derived table queries, how to do data paging with a CTE, and how to write recursive queries with tree path and hierarchical output. This book will also cover how to use the DELETE, UPDATE, and INSERT statements with a CTE, and how to use CTEs in stored procedures and functions.
We will explore the benefits and drawbacks of CTEs when it comes to performance and how to avoid performance pitfalls. The twelve chapters take us from the most basic introduction of a CTE all the way to more complex usage scenarios where a CTE can change the way you look at writing T-SQL queries.
Once you have mastered the CTE, you may never look at a query the same way again.
This book was originally written in 2012 and has been updated in 2019 and 2022 for the latest versions of Microsoft SQL Server.
