@hililiwei, we want to introduce standard syntax for this to avoid divergence across engines: ```sql -- Read from a branch SELECT * FROM table BRANCH branch_name -- Insert into a branch INSERT INTO table BRANCH branch_name SELECT ... -- Merge into a branch MERGE INTO table BRANCH branch_name USING ... -- Read from a tag SELECT * FROM table AT TAG tag_name ``` It's very unlikely that other engines will support the multipart identifier syntax. Right now, I think we should focus on getting dataframe operations working and then move on to SQL after that. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
