An engine inlines a CTE at every read, so an objective whose CTEs read one another twice (a model's layers) reached the engine's optimizer and ddx at a size exponential in its depth. rewrite now splits such a query: each CTE the engine would copy is planned alone, in order, reading those before it as empty placeholder tables made from its plan with LIMIT 0, and the plans are stitched into one that reads each through a ReferenceRel, which reverse and forward mode lower once. The cache key is every piece's plan_key. A CTE whose split could change what a read means (a recursive WITH, one read inside an expression's subquery, one defined again by a nested WITH, one read under another spelling) is left to the engine, and if the split fails, the query is planned whole as before. A thirty-layer chain, 2^30 copies written out, is differentiated from SQL in about a second. Part of #19.

A split names its placeholders under a namespace fresh to the call, so calls that overlap make tables of their own; but the names reached the cache key, in the pieces' SQL and the engine's keys of them, so no call ever found the last one's program, and each kept one that could never be found again. The key now writes the fresh namespace as one name. (Found by a /code-review pass.)

- Around line 250-260: Update pre_visit_relation to count every CTE name match,
including unsafe reads, so with_of retains CTEs referenced by the scope. In
split, before computing shared CTEs, propagate unsafe status from each unsafe
CTE to every CTE it reads, including transitively; add share::tests coverage for
an unsafe CTE that reads an otherwise-shared CTE.
- Around line 361-369: Update placeholder in stitch to match NamedTable reads
using the final component of t.names, so qualified split placeholders resolve to
their ordinals. Preserve None for empty names or unmatched components.

A CTE read only where it might be misread (inside an expression's subquery, or under another spelling) was not counted, so the split dropped it from the WITH while the query still read it by name: the engine then read a table of that name, if any. Every read now counts, and what such a CTE reads is left to the engine too, since it is inlined where a placeholder read cannot become a reference. `stitch` now matches a placeholder by its name's last part, and refuses a plan that still reads a placeholder anywhere, subqueries included, so the query is planned whole instead of failing at run time.

A read matched the first CTE whose name equals it but for case. With `WITH a AS (...), "A" AS (...)`, a read of `"A"` counted against `a`, so the split dropped `"A"` from the WITH and the root read a table of that name, if any. A read now counts against every CTE it may be of, and is safe to replace only when it may be of exactly one, spelled the same. Engines differ on how case and quotes resolve, so this does not try to pick the one an engine would. Found by CodeRabbit on #168.

The fix addresses the finding without choosing an engine’s name-resolution rules. Each read counts against every candidate CTE. Placeholder replacement requires exactly one candidate with matching spelling. The regression test checks that both I did not run the tests. ✏️ Learnings added

A loss may read a view whose layers read each other more than once, as xarray-sql's GPT model does (`CREATE VIEW logits AS WITH x0 AS (...) ...`). #168 plans each CTE an objective reads more than once on its own, but can't see a view's CTEs. Now a backend may give a view's SQL (`Backend::view_sql`, optional), and sql/views.rs writes each view the objective reads into it as CTEs before #168 splits it: the view's CTEs renamed `__ddx_view_{k}_{i}_{name}`, its query as `__ddx_view_{k}`, and the views it reads ahead of it. ddx-datafusion gives a `ViewTable`'s definition; ddxdb reads `information_schema.views`, resolving names with the session's catalog, schema and case rules, and warns when the information schema is off. Both give a view's SQL only while its query, read in its place (`ddx_ad::view_probe`), plans as the view DataFusion kept: a view over a redefined view is left to the engine. A view is also left to the engine if it has no SQL, doesn't parse, has recursive or redefined CTEs, or reads names alike but for case; and so is an objective whose reads could be shadowed by a generated name. A renamed read keeps its old name as an alias, so columns qualified by it still resolve (a fix shared with #168's placeholders). Part of #19.

Part of #19 (the tape: share relations instead of copying them), PR 3 of 4 in the approved sketch. On by default, as agreed on the issue.
Why. Engines inline a CTE at every read, and Substrait plans are trees. A model's layers read each other twice (residual connections, layer norms), so its plan grows exponentially with depth:
#165–#167 let ddx read a plan that shares relations through
ReferenceRel. No engine's producer writes one, soddx_ad::rewritenow builds it.How (
crates/ddx-ad/src/sql/share.rs):splitcounts how many copies of each CTE the engine would plan. Each CTE copied more than once becomes a piece, which reads earlier pieces through placeholder tables ({namespace}cte_{k}). The query itself is the last piece.LIMIT 0. DataFusion optimizes that to an empty relation, so no newBackendmethod is needed.plan_key. On a miss,stitchjoins the pieces' plans. Each placeholder read becomes aReferenceReland keeps any filter or projection pushed into it.Left to the engine, when splitting could change what a read means:
WITH RECURSIVE;WITHdefines again;aand"A").If the split fails, the query is planned whole, as before. At worst it is slower; it doesn't break.
Trade-off. The engine can no longer optimize across pieces. It can't push a reader's filter into a shared CTE, and it can't prune a column that only some readers use. A filter on a gradient's dims still applies, because that filter is planned against the gradient table.
Fixed in review. Placeholder names are fresh on every call, so the cache never hit. The key now writes the namespace as one fixed name.
