This is really great! Kudos to all who made this happen :)

I tried a bunch of different queries, and so far, only these two
haven't worked. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
SELECT 1
UNION ALL
SELECT n+1
FROM t
WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR: cannot extract attribute from empty tuple slot

WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
VALUES (1)
UNION ALL
SELECT n+1
FROM t
WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR: cannot extract attribute from empty tuple slot

Cheers,
David.
