Xiao Li commented on SPARK-29591:
---------------------------------

Ignoring the values is hard to support now since we need to define the default 
values when creating the schema.

 

However, it is not hard to support different orders. We only need to update the 
parser like what we did for MERGE/UPSERT statements. cc [~maropu] [~cloud_fan]

> *In postgre sql*
> CREATE TABLE weather (
>  city varchar(80),
>  temp_lo int, – low temperature
>  temp_hi int, – high temperature
>  prcp real, – precipitation
>  date date
>  );
> *You can list the columns in a different order if you wish or even omit some 
> columns,*
> INSERT INTO weather (date, city, temp_hi, temp_lo)
>  VALUES ('1994-11-29', 'Hayward', 54, 37);
> *Spark SQL*
> But in spark sql is not allowing to insert data in different order or omit 
> any column.Better to support this as it can save time if we can not predict 
> any specific column value or if some value is fixed always.
> create table jobit(id int,name string);
> > insert into jobit values(1,"Ankit");
>  Time taken: 0.548 seconds
>  spark-sql> *insert into jobit (id) values(1);*
>  *Error in query:*
>  mismatched input 'id' expecting \{'(', 'SELECT', 'FROM', 'VALUES', 'TABLE', 
> 'INSERT', 'MAP', 'REDUCE'}(line 1, pos 19)
> == SQL ==
>  insert into jobit (id) values(1)
>  -------------------^^^
> spark-sql> *insert into jobit (name,id) values("Ankit",1);*
>  *Error in query:*
>  mismatched input 'name' expecting \{'(', 'SELECT', 'FROM', 'VALUES', 
> 'TABLE', 'INSERT', 'MAP', 'REDUCE'}(line 1, pos 19)
