Follow-on to the SELECT CTE work: with() and withRecursive() now work on
the data-modifying queries too. Fixes #261.

WithTrait moves to AbstractDmlQuery, subSelect() to AbstractQuery, and
buildWith() to Common\AbstractBuilder. New Sqlsrv DML builders so SQL
Server renders a plain WITH on all four query types.

MySQL takes no WITH on INSERT — it allows a CTE only inside the SELECT an
INSERT ... SELECT draws from, which this package does not build — so
Mysql\Insert::with() throws instead of emitting unexecutable SQL.

[BRK] InsertInterface, UpdateInterface and DeleteInterface extend
WithInterface, as SelectInterface already did.

Coverage: shared WithTestTrait on the three Common DML test classes, so every
dialect inherits it, plus integration tests that execute against a real server.
CI green on SQLite, MySQL 8.0/8.4, Postgres 15/17 and SQL Server 2019/2022.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added common table expression (CTE) support for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries.
    • Added standard and recursive CTEs, including multiple CTEs, column lists, and parameter binding.
    • Added SQL Server support with dialect-appropriate CTE syntax.
  • Bug Fixes

    • MySQL INSERT queries now clearly reject unsupported CTE usage.
  • Documentation

    • Added usage examples and dialect-specific guidance for CTE-enabled data modification queries.

MySQL allows a CTE on INSERT only inside the SELECT an INSERT ... SELECT
draws from, which this package does not build, so Mysql\Insert::with()
refuses rather than building unexecutable SQL. Fixes #261.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds WITH and WITH RECURSIVE support to INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries. Shared CTE rendering moves to common abstractions. SQL Server omits RECURSIVE, while MySQL INSERT rejects CTE methods.

Changes

DML CTE support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared CTE contract and rendering
src/Common/*, src/AbstractDmlQuery.php, src/AbstractQuery.php
DML interfaces extend WithInterface. Common abstractions render CTEs and import sub-select bindings.
Dialect-specific DML builders
src/Sqlsrv/*, src/Mysql/Insert.php
SQL Server adds DML builders without the RECURSIVE keyword. MySQL Insert throws BadMethodCallException for CTE methods.
Behavior coverage and documentation
tests/Common/*, tests/Integration/*, tests/Mysql/*, tests/Sqlsrv/*, docs/*, CHANGELOG.md
Tests cover rendering, bindings, state, validation, dialect behavior, and database effects. Documentation describes the new APIs and restrictions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to af5d1

This PR adds common table expression support to data-modifying queries with explicit handling for dialect differences; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

99-108: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Name withRecursive() in the MySQL paragraph.

Mysql\Insert::with() throws, and withRecursive() throws too because it delegates to with(). docs/mysql.md states both methods. Name both here as well, so the two pages agree.

The select.md link also needs the section anchor; see the consolidated comment.

📝 Proposed wording change
 MySQL is the exception: it allows a CTE only inside the `SELECT` an
 `INSERT ... SELECT` draws from, which this package does not build, so
-`with()` on a MySQL _Insert_ throws
+`with()` and `withRecursive()` on a MySQL _Insert_ throw
 `Aura\SqlQuery\Exception\BadMethodCallException` rather than building a
 statement that could only fail at execute time.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/delete.md`:
- Around line 37-40: Update the withRecursive() documentation annotation to note
that SQL Server renders the recursive CTE using WITH rather than WITH RECURSIVE,
or link to the relevant dialect-specific behavior, while preserving the existing
syntax descriptions for other databases.

In `@docs/insert.md`:
- Around line 105-108: The cross-references to the SELECT page’s WITH section
lack an anchor. Update the links in docs/insert.md lines 105-108 and
docs/update.md lines 191-194 to target the exact WITH heading anchor in
docs/select.md, verifying the heading text before applying the same correction
at both sites.
