Advanced SQL (programming) videos | SQL Programming Part 11 - Common Table Expressions (CTEs)
Posted by Andrew Gould on 21 March 2013
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!

You can view the video in full screen mode as shown on the left, using the icon at the bottom right of the frame.
You can also increase the quality of the video:
You can improve the resolution of the video using another icon at the bottom right of the frame. This will slow down the connection speed, but increase the display and sound quality. This icon only becomes visible when you start playing the video.
Finally, if nothing happens when you play the video, check that you're not using IE in compatibility view.
