+=== Syntax Description of WITH clause
+
+WITH clause, known as Common Table Expressions (CTEs) or subquery
factoring clause, was introduced in the SQL-99 standard and has been
implemented into Trafodion R2.1.
+
+For a complex expression which is referenced multiple times within the
body of a SELECT statement, the WITH clause assigns it an alias. The alias is
treated like a temporary table or an inline view that lasts only for the
duration of the query and can be referenced various times in the same query.

Grammar: "...the WITH clause assigns it an alias." should be "...the WITH
clause assigns an alias." (remove the word, "it")
