Explain what is cte (common table expression)?..

Answer / Renu Bisht

A Common Table Expression (CTE) is a temporary result set that you can reference within a single query in SQL Server. A CTE is defined using the WITH statement and can be used to simplify complex queries, improve readability, and make it easier to reuse subqueries. A CTE is created, executed, and then destroyed when the query is finished executing.
