The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
AS keyword is used in a number of places in SQL syntax. In this case it was
used to create a column alias. It actually is not required for that purpose
either (you could have just typed ... COUNT(*) theCount ...), but it sure
makes things more legible and understandable.
As for performance differences... running statements once in the same
session is not really an exhaustive test. You'll need to be more
comprehensive in your test scenarios. Visual Explain will definitely help.
That said, empirically speaking, CTEs (Common Table Expressions) can truly
make a positive difference in many cases, and I use them extensively. For a
statement as straightforward as yours, it shouldn't make that much of a
difference, but query optimizer is a complex beast.
