Hi.
I think you should include an example on how to create a table from a query
that uses a CTE in the query.

[shrug]

The obvious attempt to specify:

create table cte_tbl as

WITH cte (val) AS (select 1)

SELECT * FROM cte;

works so I'm not really sure that such an example adds valuable insight.

That is probably a totaly worthless example for a experienced user.

The only insight would be for a new user that "oh, I can do it like that".
