Description:
I think it should be more more visible that data does not change in the
table, untill the with statement is complete. It took some trial-and-error
and fine-reading of the manual before I got this part.
My test code was as following:
create table test(id bigint);
insert into test(id) VALUES(1), (2), (3), (4);
with del as
(delete from test where id in (1, 2))
select * from test;
id
