> Hi [@Yash-cor](https://github.com/Yash-cor), can you explain the meaning of this sql - `WITH RECURSIVE cte AS ( SELECT * from t_user UNION ALL SELECT user_id+1, name FROM cte WHERE user_id < 5 ) SELECT * FROM cte`? Ok so t_user is the physical table which exists in our database and it contains two columns `user_id` and `name`. By using the RECURSIVE segment we can apply recursion in our queries to create temporary table. RECURSIVE subquery contains two parts one non recursive part - `SELECT * from t_user` Other is recursive part - `SELECT user_id+1, name FROM cte WHERE user_id < 5` In recursive part we have to use the same common table expression alias table. And it is necessary to combine them with UNION. For Example if t_user contains - (1, 'Yash'). Now this part starts using the rows from cte (which initially has just (1, 'Yash')) and will keep generating: (2, 'Yash') (3, 'Yash') (4, 'Yash') (5, 'Yash') Because the condition is user_id < 5, it stops once user_id becomes 5. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
