I've seen several posts using select syntax similar to this: with mytab as (select * sometable) select * from mytab
as opposed to this: select * from (select * from sometable) Does the structure of the 1st query have a certain name - what keywords would I use when doing a search for the advantages/ disadvantages of the "with mytab as..." syntax?
