Interestingly the first thing I ran into when I started doing so was that apparently Oracle *doesn't* handle the lack of the RECURSIVE attribute properly. It still put the common table expressions in scope for the subsequent common table expressions even without the RECURSIVE keyword, which is apparently just a noise word in Oracle.
It is a "noise" word in Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server.
Only Postgres and Firebird completely adhere to the standard by requiring it... Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
