INSERT INTO dbo.table1 
SELECT *
FROM [cte_table]
, cte_table2

Answer 1

If your case is Re-usability of the record set, in that case use a Temp Table or Table variable.

e.g.

Select * Into #temp1 From dbo.table

INSERT INTO dbo.table1 
SELECT * FROM #temp1

SELECT * FROM #temp1 ..... and do some other re-usability operations.

A chained Cte work as under (just an example)

;With Cte1 As ( Select * from table1)
,Cte2 As (Select * from table2)

select c1.*,c2.*
from cte1 c1, cte2 c2

Hope you understand when to use what and how.
