Dear Postgres community,
I'm seeing unintuitive behavior with a query structured as follows:
WITH used_cte (SELECT a, b, c FROM t1 ...)
, unused_cte (SELECT d, e, f FROM t2 ...)
SELECT * FROM used_cte ...
-- returns no results
WITH used_cte (SELECT a, b, c FROM t1 ...)
-- , unused_cte (SELECT d, e, f FROM t2 ...)
SELECT * FROM used_cte ...
-- returns results
I don't understand why the presence of a CTE that ends up not being
included in the final query affects the result set.  Could this be a bug,
or is there something I don't understand?
PostgreSQL 14.9 (Ubuntu 14.9-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,
compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, 64-bit
Thanks,
Gabriel
