CTEs – Thinking in Sets …
• What if you want the list of customers who were in the “top 10” for two
consecutive years? Think in sets …

WITH top10_2018 (customer_name, total_sales) AS

(SELECT customer_name, SUM(sales) FROM SALES
WHERE YEAR=2018
GROUP BY customer_name
ORDER BY SUM(sales) DESC
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY) ,
top10_2019 (customer_name, total_sales) AS
(SELECT customer_name, SUM(sales) FROM SALES
WHERE YEAR=2019
GROUP BY customer_name
ORDER BY SUM(sales) DESC
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY)
SELECT Y1.customer_name,
Y1.total_sales AS sales2018, Y2.total_sales AS sales2019
FROM top10_2018 Y1 INNER JOIN top10_2019 Y2
ON Y1.customer_name = Y2.customer_name
