Getting an odd error, SQL Server query using `WITH` clause

;WITH 
    CteProductLookup(ProductId, oid) 
    AS 
...

always use with statement like ;WITH then you'll never get this error. The WITH command required a ; between it and any previous command, by always using ;WITH you'll never have to remember to do this.

see WITH common_table_expression (Transact-SQL), from the section Guidelines for Creating and Using Common Table Expressions:

When a CTE is used in a statement that is part of a batch, the statement before it must be followed by a semicolon.
