I'm not sure if this is something I don't know how to do, or if it's
something we simply can't do, or if it's something we could do but the
syntax can't handle :-)
Basically, I'd like to combine a recursive and a non-recursive CTE in
the same query. If I do it non-recursive, I can do something like:
WITH t1(z) AS ( SELECT a FROM x
),
t2 AS ( SELECT z FROM t1
)
SELECT * FROM t2;
But what if I want t2 to be recursive?
Trying something like:
WITH t1 (z,b) AS ( SELECT a,b FROM x
),
RECURSIVE t2(z,b) AS ( SELECT z,b FROM t1 WHERE b IS NULLUNION ALL SELECT z,b FROM t2 INNER JOIN t1 ON t2.b=t1.z
)
I get a syntax error on the RECURSIVE.
Is there any other position in this query that I can put the RECURSIVE
in order for it to get through?
