Great question. Not that I use recursive CTEs, but it's good to know 🙂

I do not use 2014 but my guess was correct. I thought it would be silly to not allow the others.

Good question. Not knowing the answer off the top of my head, it was more a process of elimination than anything. Thanks.

Great. Now I'm trying to conceive of a situation where one would want to use PIVOT within a recursive CTE... :blink:

Easy process of elimination answer. Although it makes no sense to me for a PIVOT to be in a recursive CTE...

What if your code ran too fast and you wanted to slow it down? Between the pivot and the rcte, that should do the trick. 😛

XPath is your friend.

XPath is your friend.

If your code is running to fast perhaps you should tell it to wait.

Just don't ask it to WAITFOR to long... :w00t:
