> Why does SparkSQL allow `WHERE` to be table alias?
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-30618
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30618
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.4
> Reporter: Chunjun Xiao
> Priority: Minor
>
> An empty `WHERE` expression is valid in Spark SQL, as: `SELECT * FROM XXX
> WHERE`. Here `WHERE` is parsed as the table alias.
> I think this surprises most SQL users, as this is an invalid statement in
> some SQL engines like MySQL.
> I checked the source code, and found more keywords (in most SQL system) are
> treated as `noReserved` and allowed to be table alias.
> Could anyone please give the rationality behind this decision?
