A Common Table Expression in SQL is a technique for creating a temporary recordset that you immediately use in another statement - they're often a neat alternative to using Temporary Tables. In this video we'll teach you how to create and consume a CTE, show you a couple of practical uses for them and hopefully convince you that they're worth using!
