A Fix for the Fixation on Fixpoints
Summary: Derives iterative CTE variants from SQL:1999 WITH RECURSIVE's loop-based operational semantics, avoiding fixpoint semantics and monotonicity constraints. Variants let CTEs retain/forget past iterations or store keyed iteration state, enabling imperative-style iterative SQL with better readability and performance.
