A common table expression.

A common table expression is a table that can be supplied to
WITH clauses. It may or may not be defined recursively.

Example:

// Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;
Table<?> t = name("t").fields("v").as(select(one()));
using(configuration)
   .select()
   .from(t)
   .fetch();

 Instances can be created using Name.as(Select<Record>).
