'Invalid object name' error for Common Table [removed]CTE) even though CTE has been defined

Question

I am using SQL server 2012. I have three CTEs defined in a row as shown below:

;WITH X_CTE (A, B, C, D)
AS (
    ...
)
,
Y_CTE (A, B, C, D)
AS (
    ...
)
,
         


        

Answer 1

The CTE's are defined only for one query. You would need to repeat them for the three selects or inserts:

with X_CTE . . .
INSERT INTO MyTable SELECT * FROM X_CTE;

with X_CTE . . .
INSERT INTO MyTable SELECT * FROM Y_CTE;

with X_CTE . . .
INSERT INTO MyTable SELECT * FROM Z_CTE;
