SQL WITH Clause | How to write SQL Queries using WITH Clause | SQL CTE (Common Table Expression)

SQL WITH Clause | How to write SQL Queries using WITH Clause | SQL CTE (Common Table Expression)
In this video, we shall understand how to write SQL Queries using WITH Clause. We will go through the syntax of using WITH Clause and I will also explain how SQL treats and executes SQL Queries containing With Clause.
SQL WITH Clause is also referred to as CTE which stands for Common Table Expression and can also be referred to as Subquery Refactoring.
This video will also provide what are the advantages of using With Clause while writing SQL Queries and also mention few scenarios when you should be using With Clause while writing SQL Queries.
Download all the scripts and SQL Queries used in this video from my blog. Link below:

00:00 Intro
00:34 Query 1: Simple example of writing SQL Query using With clause
06:25 Query 2: Ideal Scenario for writing SQL Query using With clause
20:29 Advantages of using WITH Clause in SQL
22:19 When to use With Clause in SQL
If you are new to SQL then you might have assumed that SQL Queries must always start with SELECT clause but that's not true because we can also start SQL Queries using WITH Clause. Understanding With clause can really help you to solve some of the tricky problems in SQL.
In this video, we shall first see a simple example of using with clause within SQL query. The query no 2 explained in this video will be most suitable scenario for using WITH clause in SQL Query.

Please note the COST column used in this table represents the total cost of purchase hence we do not need to multiple quantity with cost to get the total cost. I designed the dataset with an assumption that COST is the total purchase cost.

[@eijazhussainsheikh2637]

then it becomes easy...

[@gotchihaeyo1825]

What if we have to calculate quantity × price first? Does Sum(quantity*price) work?

[@chandramoulireddymarthala3721]

Yeah your videos are really helping me to understand this course

[@maggienalwabwe7288]

Hello, please help me reconstruct this using SELECT. The with clause isn’t supported WITH seq(n) AS (SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT n + 1 FROM seq WHERE n < DATEDIFF(DAY, '20210101', (DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(YEAR, 30, '20210101'))))), d(d) AS (SELECT DATEADD(DAY, n, '20210101') FROM seq) SELECT d, COUNT (*) ON a.dogma_registereddate = d OR a.dogma_removeddate IS NULL) WHERE a.dogma_charitynumber != 'SC000036' GROUP BY d ORDER BY d OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0);

[@ananda7469]

Sir can you please explain why did you give X as alias and also again avg_sales as alias but confused

[@LazyPvPing]

You're the best resource I have found! I've taken classes on Udemy and everything but it's nothing like this. I graduate from college in December and I'm pursuing a career in Data Analytics. Your videos are definitely going to help me with my upcoming interviews. God bless you brother! You have helped me to understand SQL on a whole another level!

[@techTFQ]

I am so glad to hear this bro :) Happy to know my videos have helped you to understand SQL. Thank you for the amazing feedback :)

[@akshaykumarsingh9770]

That's correct @ItsReflexes, he is awesome 🙂

[@techTFQ]

Thank you once again Akshay 🙏🏼

[@LazyPvPing]

UPDATE : I signed a job offer with a great compensation range. In addition, I had 3+ companies to choose from. Hard work does pay off!

[@techTFQ]

Congratulations buddy 💐 I am so happy for your success 👌 All the best 👍

[@JR-ly6bx]

alot of people just show how to make the query, what I call "watch me type". You actually teach the how and whys. i learned alot with your channel. thanks

[@mdrashadulislam7121]

I have been working two and a half years as a Data Management Officer at icddr,b Bangladesh. Now, I am learning SQL to become a data analyst. I found your video classes very useful, effective and eloquently explained. Thanks techTFQ👌.

[@17stevedrew]

This video on the with clause gave me a solution to a query I have been trying to write for a month. I can't thank you enough. Now the query works as it should and is readable! I had tried various unions, exists, partition statements to isolate some data. It did not work, this did! 😀

[@RvRaaphorst]

Another big advantage is when using CTE's for inserting/updating records in multiple rows (One-to-one, or one-to-mamy), you can use the returned id in the other queries. Mutiple modifications in a single query reduce overall latency from a code perspective. Moreover, a CTE is executed as a transaction, so you won't need to start/commit a transaction in your code.

[@matiassquartini2467]

from zero to super hero with you man, massive thanks to do it easier.

[@rajorshi1000]

Such a wonderful explanation. I was always afraid of using WITH clause but after watching this video, I will definitely try to implement the same wherever it's possible. Thanks a lot brother.

[@techTFQ]

Glad to hear that buddy

[@rishabh_fitness3273]

i have never seen someone like you to be that perfect in sql ever. hats off taufiq ,god bless you SIR♥

[@lesptitsoiseaux]

Greetings from Vancouver :) Big thank you for this video. As a fintec product manager who uses metabase and its wisiwig (scratch for sql), I was limited severely in what I could do (I know some sql but didn't know this). Your video here finally explains how to create variables, I mean, cte or datasets to work with. I'm binge watching your channel now! Cheers and happy new year to you and yours.

[@Anand-ct8rp]

You are the best instructor who explains tough things in a very simple way. Appreciate your work..!!!

[@kambojiganesh2265]

Most underrated KZbin channel i have seen, you have rocked all the sql videos man

[@KamalKToronto]

I am obsessed with your channel, I have been working with SQL for so long and I used to run away from window functions but you explain it so nice and clear. I learned by working on it so was never clear on concepts but thank god for your Chanel !

[@techTFQ]

Thank you Kamaljeet 🙏🏼 I am glad to read this comment and happy to know my contents have helped you

[@talknow2859]

I had to go through this 3x to really understand the with clause concept. Thanks a whole bunch 🎉.

[@sd_d]

Im grateful to you beyond words could express Mr.Thoufiq. Big Salute to you

[@Devdumplings]

This is the best video on CTE. Thanks a lot for explaining in a simple way. 🙌

[@MS-dp9xx]

I have watched many SQL videos and I hardly comment. Thank you and appreciate your videos, I found them very beneficial and what makes real difference in your videos is you explain the rational of why we need to use and its pros and cons. They have unexpectedly answered some of the question that I didn't even exist in my mind. Keep up and great work!

[@techTFQ]

Thank you so very much for the amazing feedback :) I am so glad you took the time to comment and so glad you like my contents 🙏

[@Nikhilg-rs7iv]

thank you so much man i was just blindly copy pasting the cte queries without understanding how it actually works and I am glad to find this channel, bro explained the concept like we explain everything to 1 year old babies

[@arjuntantry7894]

Bro You're an Amazing Teacher. Nobody ever could make learning SQL so simple!. Thank You!

[@pritompaul4249]

You're the best SQL instructor in KZbin. Hoping for the best and keep up this mighty work.

[@hammadyasir2174]

Great Teacher.i never seen a person who explain complex stuff in a easy and simple way.

[@_logicking]

Awesome. I use with all the time. As a data analyst I write for single use code so I often don’t write very efficiently. Using a with clause to get the initial dataset to just look a little bit more like the target dataset and then using it again until I incrementally achieve the target dataset is pretty much my solution. Almost every time.

[@USA_to_Asia_in_2024]

Thank you so much. God is so good as you are a blessing with your lessons.

[@misterhanwee1030]

Thanks for the generous sharing! Your explanation makes it much easier to grasp than the one i took on Udemy.

[@jhonsen9842]

Undoubtly your course is the best resource not only in youtube but also whatever available in internet that to be free.

[@rishabhnagaich5626]

Learning from you each day, my friend. Great content, not only in this video but other SQL videos as well. Keep up the good work!

[@lalithag6511]

Thank you. You explained very clearly and also in detail at the same time. Glad I found this video.

[@techTFQ]

Thank you bro ❤️❤️❤️

[@swarnalathak88]

[@techTFQ]

Thank you Sagar once again for all the support and always liking my content 🙏🏼 Am so glad, I am able to add some value through these videos 🙂

[@jxon6246]

Really useful video. Spared me a lot of web research and let me understand the principle that enabled me to execute at a way more complex query.

[@RohithS-ig4hl]

Really an excellent way to explain with clause. Thank you for this!

[@tonysun203]

Just like the way you explain the concept so that it is more easier to understand. Thanks again for your video. I have learnt a lot.

[@davidloewen5528]

I use CTE in almost every production query I write. After the first sub query, I always format the alias name with leading comma as , as ( Select …. ) , as ( -- The reason for this is when revisiting the query a year later, I just need to comment out any alias name row and highlight from top to and including the query with the alias commented out, and examine any intermediate results. Excellent technique when a business person wants to see how something is being generated. Use white space above and below these lines. My tip? Format for functionality, use leading commas.

[@unpluggedsaurav3186]

you are a gem sir, as soon as I crack my data analyst, I am gonna donate good part of my first month salary to channel, #gratitude

[@techTFQ]

Thank you Saurav :) Appreciate your generosity. And wishing you all the best

I was getting hopeless with my sql learning. This channel gave me a new direction. This is the first video that I watched. Now I am going to practice from your sql practice playlist.

[@techTFQ]

Awesome Sahil 👌 Very happy to read this comment.. I am glad this helped you

[@sogolll]

Thank you for this video, I was using CTE's only for deleting duplicates and I was so confused when I should use these and what they are for. You explained it so well. I'm glad I finally understand CTE.

[@techTFQ]

glad this helped

[@StrangerBaba86]

Excellent.. using cte also get rid of temp tables or reference tables..also bear in mind that memory should be enough to hold data .. since it's being referenced later.

[@user-kd2wb3si4e]

What I mainly like about you is, the project based explanations you provide. Its now making alot of sense to me after watching your videos. Thanks. Please more and more of project based explanation of SQL.

Awesome video and perfect explanation thankyou soo much

[@Harishkumar-sb3zz]

your videos are super. thank you so much. As you're voice is fast, it is bit difficult to make a note of them at the same time. I had to pass the video multiple times and make a note of them, but instead of all that, it would be much better if you could please show a slide in the video itself about the adv/disadv or differences if there are any, so that we can directly make a note of them as per your wordings in the slide. Once again, thank you so much and don't stop making more videos. You're on an online guru for us ...🙏

[@techTFQ]

Thank you Harish for your kind feedback 🙏🏼 I am glad this helped you and I’ll try to get slower as much as possible
