The manual says
CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW name (columns) AS SELECT ...;
is equivalent to
CREATE VIEW name AS WITH RECURSIVE name (columns) AS (SELECT ...)
SELECT columns FROM name;
I guess it could be more explicit about the fact that the implied CTE just
has the base name of the view; but since CTE names can't be qualified,
that's not that hard to guess. Short answer is that you don't qualify the
view's internal self-reference, even if you are using a schema name in the
CREATE.
