Research direction
The issue requests support for common table expressions (WITH clause) in BayesDB's SQLite backend. The current version of SQLite is too old (pre 3.8.3). The solution likely involves upgrading the SQLite version used by the project, either by linking to a newer system library or bundling a newer version. Review the comments for any prior discussion or constraints. Files to investigate include setup.py or any SQLite version configuration.
