¿Cómo se usa la cláusula "WITH" en MySQL?

Estoy convirtiendo todas mis consultas de SQL Server a MySQL y todas mis consultas que tienen WITHen ellas están fallando. He aquí un ejemplo:

WITH t1 AS
(
     SELECT article.*, userinfo.*, category.*
     FROM question
     INNER JOIN userinfo ON userinfo.user_userid = article.article_ownerid
     INNER JOIN category ON article.article_categoryid = category.catid
     WHERE article.article_isdeleted = 0
)
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
ORDER BY t1.article_date DESC
LIMIT 1, 3

MySQL anterior a la versión 8.0 no es compatible con la cláusula WITH (CTE en el lenguaje de SQL Server; Factorización de subconsultas en Oracle), por lo que le queda usar:

• Mesas TEMPORALES
• Tablas DERIVADAS
• vistas en línea (efectivamente, lo que representa la cláusula WITH: son intercambiables)

La solicitud de la función se remonta a 2006.

Como se mencionó, proporcionó un ejemplo deficiente: no es necesario realizar una subselección si no está alterando la salida de las columnas de ninguna manera:

  SELECT * 
    FROM ARTICLE t
    JOIN USERINFO ui ON ui.user_userid = t.article_ownerid
    JOIN CATEGORY c ON c.catid =  t.article_categoryid
   WHERE t.published_ind = 0
ORDER BY t.article_date DESC 
   LIMIT 1, 3

He aquí un mejor ejemplo:

SELECT t.name,
       t.num
  FROM TABLE t
  JOIN (SELECT c.id
               COUNT(*) 'num'
          FROM TABLE c
         WHERE c.column = 'a'
      GROUP BY c.id) ta ON ta.id = t.id

El equipo de desarrolladores de Mysql anunció que la versión 8.0 tendrá expresiones de tabla comunes en MySQL (CTE) . Entonces será posible escribir consultas como esta:

WITH RECURSIVE my_cte AS
(
  SELECT 1 AS n
  UNION ALL
  SELECT 1+n FROM my_cte WHERE n<10
)
SELECT * FROM my_cte;
+------+
| n    |
+------+
|    1 |
|    2 |
|    3 |
|    4 |
|    5 |
|    6 |
|    7 |
|    8 |
|    9 |
|   10 |
+------+
10 rows in set (0,00 sec)

En Sql, la declaración with especifica un conjunto de resultados con nombre temporal, conocido como expresión de tabla común (CTE). Puede usarse para consultas recursivas, pero en este caso, se especifica como subconjunto. Si mysql permite subselectes, lo intentaría

select t1.* 
from  (
            SELECT  article.*, 
                    userinfo.*, 
                    category.* 
            FROM    question INNER JOIN 
                    userinfo ON userinfo.user_userid=article.article_ownerid INNER JOIN category ON article.article_categoryid=category.catid
            WHERE   article.article_isdeleted = 0
     ) t1
ORDER BY t1.article_date DESC Limit 1, 3

Seguí el enlace compartido por lisachenko y encontré otro enlace a este blog: http://guilhembichot.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/with-recursive-and-mysql.html

La publicación presenta formas de emular los 2 usos de SQL WITH. Muy buena explicación sobre cómo funcionan para hacer una consulta similar a SQL WITH.

1) Use WITH para no tener que realizar la misma subconsulta varias veces

CREATE VIEW D AS (SELECT YEAR, SUM(SALES) AS S FROM T1 GROUP BY YEAR);
SELECT D1.YEAR, (CASE WHEN D1.S>D2.S THEN 'INCREASE' ELSE 'DECREASE' END) AS TREND
FROM
 D AS D1,
 D AS D2
WHERE D1.YEAR = D2.YEAR-1;
DROP VIEW D;

2) Las consultas recursivas se pueden realizar con un procedimiento almacenado que hace que la llamada sea similar a una consulta recursiva.

CALL WITH_EMULATOR(
"EMPLOYEES_EXTENDED",
"
  SELECT ID, NAME, MANAGER_ID, 0 AS REPORTS
  FROM EMPLOYEES
  WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT MANAGER_ID FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE MANAGER_ID IS NOT NULL)
",
"
  SELECT M.ID, M.NAME, M.MANAGER_ID, SUM(1+E.REPORTS) AS REPORTS
  FROM EMPLOYEES M JOIN EMPLOYEES_EXTENDED E ON M.ID=E.MANAGER_ID
  GROUP BY M.ID, M.NAME, M.MANAGER_ID
",
"SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES_EXTENDED",
0,
""
);

Y este es el código o el procedimiento almacenado

# Usage: the standard syntax:
#   WITH RECURSIVE recursive_table AS
#    (initial_SELECT
#     UNION ALL
#     recursive_SELECT)
#   final_SELECT;
# should be translated by you to 
# CALL WITH_EMULATOR(recursive_table, initial_SELECT, recursive_SELECT,
#                    final_SELECT, 0, "").

# ALGORITHM:
# 1) we have an initial table T0 (actual name is an argument
# "recursive_table"), we fill it with result of initial_SELECT.
# 2) We have a union table U, initially empty.
# 3) Loop:
#   add rows of T0 to U,
#   run recursive_SELECT based on T0 and put result into table T1,
#   if T1 is empty
#      then leave loop,
#      else swap T0 and T1 (renaming) and empty T1
# 4) Drop T0, T1
# 5) Rename U to T0
# 6) run final select, send relult to client

# This is for *one* recursive table.
# It would be possible to write a SP creating multiple recursive tables.

La función 'Expresión de tabla común' no está disponible en MySQL, por lo que debe ir a hacer una vista o tabla temporal para resolver, aquí he usado una tabla temporal.

El procedimiento almacenado mencionado aquí resolverá su necesidad. Si quiero obtener todos los miembros de mi equipo y sus miembros asociados, este procedimiento almacenado ayudará:

----------------------------------
user_id   |   team_id
----------------------------------
admin     |   NULL
ramu      |   admin
suresh    |   admin
kumar     |   ramu
mahesh    |   ramu
randiv    |   suresh
-----------------------------------

Código:

DROP PROCEDURE `user_hier`//
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `user_hier`(in team_id varchar(50))
BEGIN
declare count int;
declare tmp_team_id varchar(50);
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE res_hier(user_id varchar(50),team_id varchar(50))engine=memory;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp_hier(user_id varchar(50),team_id varchar(50))engine=memory;
set tmp_team_id = team_id;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count FROM user_table WHERE user_table.team_id=tmp_team_id;
WHILE count>0 DO
insert into res_hier select user_table.user_id,user_table.team_id from user_table where user_table.team_id=tmp_team_id;
insert into tmp_hier select user_table.user_id,user_table.team_id from user_table where user_table.team_id=tmp_team_id;
select user_id into tmp_team_id from tmp_hier limit 0,1;
select count(*) into count from tmp_hier;
delete from tmp_hier where user_id=tmp_team_id;
end while;
select * from res_hier;
drop temporary table if exists res_hier;
drop temporary table if exists tmp_hier;
end

Esto se puede llamar usando:

mysql>call user_hier ('admin')//

Esa característica se denomina expresión de tabla común http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190766.aspx

No podrá hacer exactamente lo mismo en mySQL, lo más fácil probablemente sería crear una vista que refleje ese CTE y simplemente seleccionar de la vista. Puede hacerlo con subconsultas, pero funcionará muy mal. Si se encuentra con algún CTE que haga recursividad, no sé cómo podría volver a crearlo sin usar procedimientos almacenados.

EDITAR: Como dije en mi comentario, ese ejemplo que publicó no necesita un CTE, por lo que debe haberlo simplificado para la pregunta, ya que se puede escribir simplemente como

SELECT article.*, userinfo.*, category.* FROM question
     INNER JOIN userinfo ON userinfo.user_userid=article.article_ownerid
     INNER JOIN category ON article.article_categoryid=category.catid
     WHERE article.article_isdeleted = 0
 ORDER BY article_date DESC Limit 1, 3

Me gustó la respuesta de @ Brad de este hilo , pero quería una forma de guardar los resultados para su posterior procesamiento (MySql 8):

-- May need to adjust the recursion depth first
SET @@cte_max_recursion_depth = 10000 ; -- permit deeper recursion

-- Some boundaries 
set @startDate = '2015-01-01'
    , @endDate = '2020-12-31' ; 

-- Save it to a table for later use
drop table if exists tmpDates ;
create temporary table tmpDates as      -- this has to go _before_ the "with", Duh-oh! 
    WITH RECURSIVE t as (
        select @startDate as dt
      UNION
        SELECT DATE_ADD(t.dt, INTERVAL 1 DAY) FROM t WHERE DATE_ADD(t.dt, INTERVAL 1 DAY) <= @endDate
    )
    select * FROM t     -- need this to get the "with"'s results as a "result set", into the "create"
;

-- Exists?
select * from tmpDates ;

Que produce:

dt        |
