CTE - SQL Server vs PostgreSQL


With myCTE AS (SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable)
SELECT *
  FROM myCTE 
  WHERE Id = 1;


In SQL Server CTEs are processed with the main query.
In PostgreSQL CTEs are processed separately from the main query

Implications of this difference are:
  1. A query that should touch a small amount of data instead reads a whole table and possibly spills it to a tempfile.
  2. You cannot UPDATE or DELETE FROM a CTE term, because it’s more like a read-only temp table rather than a dynamic view.
  3. In PostgreSQL, in this query:
With myCTE AS (SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable)
SELECT *
  FROM myCTE 
  WHERE Id = 1;
WHERE clauses aren’t applied until the execution of the main query, and it’s different than:
With myCTE AS (SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable WHERE Id = 1)
SELECT *
  FROM AllPosts;
