I think we could use a user defined **TABLE** function: https://datafusion.apache.org/library-user-guide/adding-udfs.html#adding-a-user-defined-table-function So that would look something like ```sql SELECT * from tpch.lineitem(1.0) SELECT * from tpch.orders(1.0) ... ``` I think these table functions would be useful as their own crate In terms of a command to create all the tables, perhaps we can make another table function like ```sql SELECT * from tpchgen(1.0) ``` And have it return a struct with a status. Perhaps like | Header | |--------| | `{ output_location: "/foo/bar/tpch", format: "parquet", scale_factor: "1.0", tables: 8, bytes: 123456 }` | (this table function internally would use the `tpch.lineitem` function defined above -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
