SQL Common Table Expressions (CTEs) are a powerful feature of the T-SQL language that allow developers to create reusable, named result sets within an efficient query. CTEs also provide a means for breaking complex queries into more manageable pieces and improving readability.
A SQL CTE is essentially a temporary view created on the fly by querying data from one or more tables. The syntax of a CTE consists of the WITH keyword followed by the name assigned to it and defining its columns, as well as the SELECT statement used to populate it with data. This can then be used in subsequent queries just like any other table or view.
The advantages of using CTEs include: improved readability due to their ability to break complex queries into smaller parts; improved performance since they can be reused multiple times; and they allow you to work around some limitations such as nesting too many subqueries or having too many joins in your query.
