    # Class for easily building CTE statements.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #     cte = CTE.new(:my_cte_name)
    #     ns = Arel::Table.new(:namespaces)
    #
    #     cte << Namespace.
    #       where(ns[:parent_id].eq(some_namespace_id))
    #
    #     Namespace
    #       with(cte.to_arel).
    #       from(cte.alias_to(ns))
    class CTE
      attr_reader :table, :query

      # name - The name of the CTE as a String or Symbol.
      def initialize(name, query)
        @table = Arel::Table.new(name)
        @query = query
      end

      # Returns the Arel relation for this CTE.

        Arel::Nodes::As.new(table, sql)
      end

      # Returns an "AS" statement that aliases the CTE name as the given table
      # name. This allows one to trick ActiveRecord into thinking it's selecting
      # from an actual table, when in reality it's selecting from a CTE.
      #
      # alias_table - The Arel table to use as the alias.
      def alias_to(alias_table)
        Arel::Nodes::As.new(table, alias_table)

      # query from it.
