​Yup; I just realized this. The CTE will be inlined into a nested SELECT
right?

Ok, I have another question. I put up a counter inside my custom function
to see how many times it gets called. And the count is very strange.

The table has 90,000 rows. When I execute the SELECT statement without the
WHERE clause, the function is called 90,000 times as expected.

However, when I add the WHERE clause, which repeats the call to the custom
function, I get a count of 150,000 and sometimes it is 160,000!

If it was 90,000 or 180,000 it would have made sense; former number means
there is Common Subexpression Elimination
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_subexpression_elimination>; latter
means it is not (the sub-expression is evaluated twice).

But, why 150,000? Does some optimisation kick in after a certain number of
rows have been processed?

​thanks,
