SQL With As 用法

with 
cr as 
( 
    select CountryRegionCode from person.CountryRegion where Name like ‘C%‘ 
)

select * from person.StateProvince where CountryRegionCode in (select * from cr)

其中cr是一个公用表表达式，该表达式在使用上与表变量类似，只是SQL Server 2005在处理公用表表达式的方式上有所不同。

在使用CTE时应注意如下几点：

1. CTE后面必须直接跟使用CTE的SQL语句（如select、insert、update等），否则，CTE将失效。如下面的SQL语句将无法正常使用CTE：

with
cr as
(
    select CountryRegionCode from person.CountryRegion where Name like ‘C%‘
)
select * from person.CountryRegion  -- 应将这条SQL语句去掉
-- 使用CTE的SQL语句应紧跟在相关的CTE后面 --
select * from person.StateProvince where CountryRegionCode in (select * from cr)

2. CTE后面也可以跟其他的CTE，但只能使用一个with，多个CTE中间用逗号（,）分隔，如下面的SQL语句所示：

with
cte1 as
(
    select * from table1 where name like ‘abc%‘
),
cte2 as
(
    select * from table2 where id > 20
),
cte3 as
(
    select * from table3 where price < 100
)
select a.* from cte1 a, cte2 b, cte3 c where a.id = b.id and a.id = c.id

3. 如果CTE的表达式名称与某个数据表或视图重名，则紧跟在该CTE后面的SQL语句使用的仍然是CTE，当然，后面的SQL语句使用的就是数据表或视图了，如下面的SQL语句所示：

--  table1是一个实际存在的表

with
table1 as
(
    select * from persons where age < 30
)
select * from table1  --  使用了名为table1的公共表表达式
select * from table1  --  使用了名为table1的数据表

4. CTE 可以引用自身，也可以引用在同一 WITH 子句中预先定义的 CTE。不允许前向引用。

--使用递归公用表表达式显示递归的多个级别
WITH DirectReports(ManagerID, EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel) AS 
(
    SELECT ManagerID, EmployeeID, 0 AS EmployeeLevel
    FROM HumanResources.Employee
    WHERE ManagerID IS NULL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT e.ManagerID, e.EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel + 1
    FROM HumanResources.Employee e
        INNER JOIN DirectReports d
        ON e.ManagerID = d.EmployeeID 
)
SELECT ManagerID, EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel 
FROM DirectReports ;

--使用递归公用表表达式显示递归的两个级别
WITH DirectReports(ManagerID, EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel) AS 
(
    SELECT ManagerID, EmployeeID, 0 AS EmployeeLevel
    FROM HumanResources.Employee
    WHERE ManagerID IS NULL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT e.ManagerID, e.EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel + 1
    FROM HumanResources.Employee e
        INNER JOIN DirectReports d
        ON e.ManagerID = d.EmployeeID 
)
SELECT ManagerID, EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel 
FROM DirectReports 
WHERE EmployeeLevel <= 2 

--使用递归公用表表达式显示层次列表
WITH DirectReports(Name, Title, EmployeeID, EmployeeLevel, Sort)
AS (SELECT CONVERT(varchar(255), c.FirstName + ‘ ‘ + c.LastName),
        e.Title,
        e.EmployeeID,
        1,
        CONVERT(varchar(255), c.FirstName + ‘ ‘ + c.LastName)
    FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e
    JOIN Person.Contact AS c ON e.ContactID = c.ContactID 
    WHERE e.ManagerID IS NULL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT CONVERT(varchar(255), REPLICATE (‘| ‘ , EmployeeLevel) +
        c.FirstName + ‘ ‘ + c.LastName),
        e.Title,
        e.EmployeeID,
        EmployeeLevel + 1,
        CONVERT (varchar(255), RTRIM(Sort) + ‘| ‘ + FirstName + ‘ ‘ + 
                 LastName)
    FROM HumanResources.Employee as e
    JOIN Person.Contact AS c ON e.ContactID = c.ContactID
    JOIN DirectReports AS d ON e.ManagerID = d.EmployeeID
    )
SELECT EmployeeID, Name, Title, EmployeeLevel
FROM DirectReports 
ORDER BY Sort

--使用 MAXRECURSION 取消一条语句
--可以使用 MAXRECURSION 来防止不合理的递归 CTE 进入无限循环。以下示例特意创建了一个无限循环，然后使用 MAXRECURSION 提示将递归级别限制为两级
WITH cte (EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title) as
(
    SELECT EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title
    FROM HumanResources.Employee
    WHERE ManagerID IS NOT NULL
  UNION ALL
    SELECT cte.EmployeeID, cte.ManagerID, cte.Title
    FROM cte 
    JOIN  HumanResources.Employee AS e 
        ON cte.ManagerID = e.EmployeeID
)
--Uses MAXRECURSION to limit the recursive levels to 2
SELECT EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title
FROM cte
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 2)
--在更正代码错误之后，就不再需要 MAXRECURSION。以下示例显示了更正后的代码
WITH cte (EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title)
AS
(
    SELECT EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title
    FROM HumanResources.Employee
    WHERE ManagerID IS NOT NULL
  UNION ALL
    SELECT  e.EmployeeID, e.ManagerID, e.Title
    FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e
    JOIN cte ON e.ManagerID = cte.EmployeeID
)
SELECT EmployeeID, ManagerID, Title
FROM cte

5. 不能在 CTE_query_definition 中使用以下子句：

　　（1）COMPUTE 或 COMPUTE BY

　　（2）ORDER BY（除非指定了 TOP 子句）

　　（3）INTO

　　（4）带有查询提示的 OPTION 子句

　　（5）FOR XML

　　（6）FOR BROWSE

6. 如果将 CTE 用在属于批处理的一部分的语句中，那么在它之前的语句必须以分号结尾，如下面的SQL所示：

declare @s nvarchar(3)
set @s = ‘C%‘
;  -- 必须加分号
with
t_tree as
(
    select CountryRegionCode from person.CountryRegion where Name like @s
)
select * from person.StateProvince where CountryRegionCode in (select * from t_tree)
