Folks,
While working to write the Sieve of Eratosthenes using CTEs, I ran
across a strange error, namely that it appears I'm not allowed to nest
WITH. Is this a bug?
Cheers,
David.
WITH RECURSIVE t1(n) AS ( VALUES(2)
UNION ALL SELECT n+1 FROM t1 WHERE n < 1000
),
t2 (n, i) AS ( SELECT 2*n+2, 2 FROM t1 WHERE 2*n+2 <= 1000
UNION ALL WITH t3(k) AS ( SELECT max(i) FROM t2 ) SELECT k*n+k, k FROM t1 CROSS JOIN t3
WHEREk*n+k <= 1000
)
SELECT * FROM t1 EXCEPT SELECT n FROM t2 ORDER BY 1;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "WITH t3"
LINE 10: WITH t3(k) AS ( ^
