Can you really run updates on CTEs that are simple projections and selections? TIL.

  No, you run a SELECT … LIMIT in a CTE, and the main query is an UPDATE … JOIN CTE ON mytable.id = CTE.id

    But using a Common Table Expression is a workaround, kind of like using a paper towel as a plate. Just give us a plate...

      Completely agree, I’d like a LIMIT on UPDATE too
