यहाँ कोई "पुनरावृत्ति" नहीं हो रही है और मुझे लगता है कि यह वह जगह है जहाँ आप भ्रमित हो जाते हैं।

Note: Strictly speaking, this process is iteration not recursion,
but RECURSIVE is the terminology chosen by the SQL standards committee.
इस वाक्य की व्याख्या करने के लिए, एक WITH RECURSIVE
एक साधारण WHILE
. के रूप में देखा जा सकता है लूप।
WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
VALUES (1)
UNION ALL
SELECT n+1 FROM t WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;
इस प्रक्रिया को विस्तार से समझाने के लिए यहां कुछ कस्टम-निर्मित छद्म कोड दिए गए हैं
# Step 1: initialisation
LET cte_result = EMPTY
LET working_table = VALUES (1)
LET intermediate_table = EMPTY
# Step 2: result initialisation, merge initialisation into cte_result
cte_result = cte_result UNION working_table
# Step 3: iteration test
WHILE (working_table is not empty) DO
# Step 4: iteration select, we substitute the self-reference with working_table
intermediate_table = SELECT n+1 FROM working_table WHERE n < 100
# Step 5: iteration merge, merge the iteration result into cte_result
cte_result = cte_result UNION intermediate_table
# Step 6: iteration end, prepare for next iteration
working_table = intermediate_table
intermediate_table = EMPTY
END WHILE
# Step 7: return
RETURN cte_result
और एक उदाहरण का उपयोग करते हुए
# Step 1: initialisation
cte_result: EMPTY | working_table: 1 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 2: result initialisation
cte_result: 1 | working_table: 1 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 3: iteration test
count(working_table) = 1 # OK
# Step 4: iteration select
cte_result: 1 | working_table: 1 | intermediate_table: 2
# Step 5: iteration merge
cte_result: 1, 2 | working_table: 1 | intermediate_table: 2
# Step 6: iteration end
cte_result: 1, 2 | working_table: 2 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 3: iteration test
count(working_table) = 1 # OK
# Step 4: iteration select
cte_result: 1, 2 | working_table: 2 | intermediate_table: 3
# Step 5: iteration merge
cte_result: 1, 2, 3 | working_table: 2 | intermediate_table: 3
# Step 6: iteration end
cte_result: 1, 2, 3 | working_table: 3 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# … 97 more iterations and you get this state
cte_result: 1, 2, …, 100 | working_table: 100 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 3: iteration test
count(working_table) = 1 # OK
# Step 4: iteration select, the iteration query does not return any rows due to the WHERE clause
cte_result: 1, 2, …, 100 | working_table: 100 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 5: iteration merge, nothing is merged into the cte_result
cte_result: 1, 2, …, 100 | working_table: 100 | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 6: iteration end
cte_result: 1, 2, …, 100 | working_table: EMPTY | intermediate_table: EMPTY
# Step 3: iteration test
count(working_table) = 0 # STOP
# Step 7: return
cte_result: 1, 2, …, 100
तो सीटीई का परिणाम 1 से 100 तक के सभी नंबर हैं।
