Add CREATE TABLE AS support ( #206 )
...
We parse it as a regular `CREATE TABLE` statement
followed by an `AS <query>`, which is how BigQuery works:
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language#create_table_statement
ANSI SQL and PostgreSQL only support a plain list of columns
after the table name in a CTAS
`CREATE TABLE t (a) AS SELECT a FROM foo`
We currently only allow specifying a full schema with data
types, or omitting it altogether.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-createtableas.html
https://jakewheat.github.io/sql-overview/sql-2016-foundation-grammar.html#as-subquery-clause
Finally, when no schema is specified, we print empty parens after a
plain `CREATE TABLE t ();` as required by PostgreSQL, but skip them
in a CTAS: `CREATE TABLE t AS ...`. This affects serialization only,
the parser allows omitting the schema in a regular `CREATE TABLE` too
since the first release of the parser:
