i am getting this error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 6
Incorrect syntax near ‘cte’.

does anyone know what am doing wrong?

Answer 1

you are treating a CTE as a subquery, where instead it should be used more like a table.

try this

;with cte as
(
select rowid from batchinfo where datapath like '%thc%'
)
select * from qvalues 
INNER JOIN cte on cte.rowid=qvalues.rowid
