Fixes lineage tracking for CTEs (Common Table Expressions) so they properly trace back to their underlying source tables instead of being treated as opaque tables.
Problem
When using a CTE like:
The lineage would incorrectly show:
Solution
Modified
lineage_of_table_declin the resolver to check if a table declaration is a CTE (TableExpr::RelationVar) and, if so, trace back to the underlying source tables.The lineage now correctly shows:
For CTEs with multiple inputs (UNIONs, JOINs), all source tables are included:
