FWIW there is a project to make WITH work like subselects automatically in a future release of PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/87sh48ffhb.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/parallel-safety.html -- Thomas Munro http://www.enterprisedb.com
