FROM Clause
Version 0.3.3

The FROM clause specifies the source of the data on which the remainder of the query should operate. Logically, the FROM clause is where the query starts execution. The FROM clause can contain a single table, a combination of multiple tables that are joined together, or another SELECT query inside a subquery node.

Examples

-- select all columns from the table called "table_name"
SELECT * FROM table_name;
-- select all columns from the table called "table_name" in the schema "schema_name
SELECT * FROM schema_name.table_name;
-- select the column "i" from the table function "range", where the first column of the range function is renamed to "i"
SELECT t.i FROM range(100) AS t(i);
-- select all columns from the CSV file called "test.csv"
SELECT * FROM 'test.csv';
-- select all columns from a subquery
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM table_name);
-- join two tables together
SELECT * FROM table_name JOIN other_table ON (table_name.key = other_table.key);
-- select a 10% sample from a table
SELECT * FROM table_name TABLESAMPLE 10%;
-- select a sample of 10 rows from a table
SELECT * FROM table_name TABLESAMPLE 10 ROWS;
