Folks,

While working to write the Sieve of Eratosthenes using CTEs, I ran
across a strange error, namely that it appears I'm not allowed to nest
WITH.  Is this a bug?

Cheers,
David.

WITH RECURSIVE t1(n) AS (
    VALUES(2)
UNION ALL
    SELECT n+1 FROM t1 WHERE n < 1000
),
t2 (n, i) AS (
    SELECT 2*n+2, 2
    FROM t1 WHERE 2*n+2 <= 1000
UNION ALL
    WITH t3(k) AS (
        SELECT max(i) FROM t2
    )
    SELECT k*n+k, k
    FROM
        t1
    CROSS JOIN
        t3
    WHERE k*n+k <= 1000
)
SELECT * FROM t1 EXCEPT SELECT n FROM t2 ORDER BY 1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "WITH t3"
LINE 10:     WITH t3(k) AS (
