SQL - Common Table Expressions (CTEs)
Identify the error in the following SQL query:
WITH cteA AS (SELECT user_id FROM users), cteB AS (SELECT user_id FROM cteC) SELECT * FROM cteB;
ActeC is referenced before it is defined.
BMissing comma between CTE definitions.
CIncorrect use of SELECT statement inside CTE.
DMultiple WITH clauses used instead of one.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Review CTE definitions

    Two CTEs: cteA and cteB are defined; cteB references cteC.
  2. Step 2: Check references

    cteC is not defined anywhere in the query, so referencing it in cteB causes an error.
  3. Step 3: Validate other options

    Commas are correctly placed; SELECT syntax is valid; only one WITH clause is used.
  4. Final Answer:

    Option A -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    CTEs must be defined before use [OK]
Quick Trick: CTEs must be defined before referencing [OK]

  • Referencing undefined CTEs
  • Forgetting to separate CTEs with commas
