Something like that sounds like a better idea to me, yes.
Suggestions:
1. Keep the format, but reject it for all multi-table Datastores. Might of
course be a little weird, interface-wise (an array selector that only works
when there's no array :slightly_smiling_face:).
2. If the parser can handle it, just allow single-table data to skip the
FROM. A bit odd-looking to me though.
3. Allow something like "default_table" as well as the actual table name
for single-table datastores.
4. Require the FROM-clause, but ignore the table name for single-table
datastores.
