From

Specifies a data source.

1. from artists

1. SELECT
2. *
3. FROM
4. artists

To introduce an alias, use an assign expression:

1. from e = employees
2. select e.first_name

1. SELECT
2. first_name
3. FROM
4. employees AS e

Table names containing spaces or special characters need to be contained within backticks:

1. from `artist tracks`

1. SELECT
2. *
3. FROM
4. "artist tracks"

default_db.tablename can be used if the table name matches a function from the standard library.

Note

We realize this is an awkward workaround. Track & 👍 #3271 for resolving this.

1. default_db.group  # in place of `from group`
2. take 1

1. SELECT
2. *
3. FROM
4. "group"
5. LIMIT
6. 1
