documentation help

I just read the interesting article by Hans-Juergen Schoenig describing 
how to speed up GROUP BY and JOIN.  In the article, he mentions using an 
"optimization barrier" where the SQL is

WITH x AS

Can somebody tell me where in the postgres docs I can find information 
about this SQL?

TIA.

Since you did not indicate which VERSION of PostgreSQL you are using, I will point you to the latest release.

The WITH clause is part of the standard SELECT statement.

Just search for "WITH Clause" in this url.

The doc page you're seeking is at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/queries-with.html
once inside the page, you can switch to another version if you wish to.
