    May I ask what the exact status of this is now? It has been Planned or In Progress for over a year. Is it in progress or still just at the aspirational stage?

    I can of course only speak of my own organisation but I would say that there is not a single SQL developer here who isn't using Common Table Expressions (WITH) and wouldn't expect to have that available in a SQL database.
    All our IRIS and Cache developers love the power and flexibility of integrating SQL with objects and globals. But I cannot persuade any SQL developers to accept IRIS just for its sql capabilities with syntax gaps like the above.
