[Solved] Identify the error in the following SQL query:WITH temp_cte (SELECT id, name FROM users) SELECT * FROM temp_cte; | SQL

SQL - Common Table Expressions (CTEs)

Identify the error in the following SQL query:

WITH temp_cte (SELECT id, name FROM users) SELECT * FROM temp_cte;

ACTE name cannot be 'temp_cte'

BIncorrect use of SELECT inside the CTE

CMissing AS keyword before the subquery

DSELECT * FROM temp_cte is invalid syntax

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Review CTE syntax
The correct syntax requires the AS keyword before the subquery in parentheses.
Step 2: Analyze the query
The query uses parentheses but omits AS, which causes a syntax error.
Step 3: Evaluate options
Missing AS keyword before the subquery correctly identifies the missing AS keyword. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because SELECT is valid inside CTE, the name is valid, and the final SELECT is correct.
Final Answer:
Missing AS keyword before the subquery -> Option C
Quick Check:
WITH cte_name AS (subquery) required [OK]

Quick Trick: Always use AS before CTE subquery [OK]
