Hey-yo,
I’m trying to get some information on the general demographics of you guys and gals. I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out the form here. This information is only used in aggregate form (ie, 20% of the audience does mobile development) when I’m trying to get sponsors for the newsletters. The stats are really compelling for potential sponsors, so any responses on the form are a huge help. Thank you.
Anyway, here’s the issue.

Ryan Booz describes how common table expressions (CTEs) can be used in postgres to transform data, changing ETL (extract, transform, load) pipelines to ELT. I actually use these a lot for queries on my own data heavy websites (findenergy.com and elderguide.com).
Some highlights:
CTEs can be used to outline the steps in a transformation process
useful for debugging, since you can add a select statement after any CTE to see its output
allows you to use a lot of built-in functions that postgres has for data transformation (like aggregate functions)
