Support for Recursive CTE
It would be great if you can add support for recursive CTEs for computing hierarchical data

another BIG limitation or even show stopper if you want to migrate to synapse, please add this essential functionaliity we are used to from sql since many years

Our need is to traverse complex, unpredictable JSON objects and pull out all elements, not matter how deeply nested they are, into a table of key-value pairs. A recursive CTE with cross application of OPENJSON table-valued function would elegantly take care of this. Pretty, please.

Work around we used that we get extreme child data or most parent data and run a While loop to get desired output, then we dump the output in Table so as to use in other query/ result set.

Without recursion we will have to process some of our data outside of Azure DW, which sort of defeats the purpose. Please consider adding this feature!

hmm.. i really could do with this for large parent child issues!
