Review comment: > Note that this is different from specifying an `AS key, value` because in that case, the value will only contain the portion between the first tab and the second tab if there are multiple tabs. I think the statement above looks useless because you've already described the behaviour if the actual number of output columns is more than the number of specified output columns. ########## File path: docs/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select-transform.md ########## @@ -0,0 +1,240 @@ +--- +layout: global +title: TRANSFORM +displayTitle: TRANSFORM +license: | + Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more + contributor license agreements.
