I have a recursive view defined as follows :

     CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW the_numbers_vw (n) AS (
        SELECT n
        FROM (SELECT 0) AS a(n)
     UNION ALL
        SELECT n + 1
        FROM the_numbers_vw
        where n < 10
     );

     sel * from the_numbers_vw; /* this is fine */

     sel
        t1.*, t2.*
     from
        the_numbers_vw t1, the_numbers_vw t2
     where
        t1.n = t2.n
     ; /* this is also fine */


     replace view nest_vw as sel * from the_numbers_vw; /* get error here */

The error is

6926: WITH [RECURSIVE] clause or recursive view is not supported within WITH [RECURSIVE] definitions, views, triggers or stored procedures.

The manuals are not easy to read on this : so here is my question : Can I define a simple view that refers a recursive view in it? If not, why not?? And what are my workarounds / options?
