Rusi,

HTSQL 2.0 does not yet support SQL's common table expressions.  
However, this particular use case, along with CUBE, server-side 
stored procedures, and related needs is what made us branch 
from our 1.X production release.  Our immediate focus is SQL-92.  
Once we cover most SELECT patterns and SQL back-ends, we'll be 
looking at SQL:1999, SQL:2003, and SQL:2008 (as well as 
proprietary equivalents such as Oracle's CONNECT BY).

Best,

Clark
