**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe
what you are trying to do.**
DataFusion already supports `CREATE TABLE AS SELECT`
When working with tables it is nice to be able to replace them when they
already exist
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like the following SQL to run rather than produce an error:
```sql
❯ CREATE TABLE valuetable AS VALUES(1,'HELLO'),(12,'DATAFUSION');
+---------+------------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+------------+
| 1 | HELLO |
| 12 | DATAFUSION |
+---------+------------+
2 rows in set. Query took 0.016 seconds.
❯ CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE valuetable AS VALUES(1,'HELLO THERE');
Execution("Table '\"valuetable\"' already exists")
```
The result should be that `valuetable` now contains a single row 👍
```
+---------+------------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+------------+
| 1 | HELLO THERE |
```
