Xiao Li commented on SPARK-28329:
---------------------------------

This conflicts with the SQL standard. 

> The SQL standard uses SELECT INTO to represent selecting values into scalar 
> variables of a host program, rather than creating a new table.

> h2. Description
> {{SELECT INTO}} creates a new table and fills it with data computed by a 
> query. The data is not returned to the client, as it is with a normal 
> {{SELECT}}. The new table's columns have the names and data types associated 
> with the output columns of the {{SELECT}}.
>  
> {{CREATE TABLE AS}} offers a superset of the functionality offered by 
> {{SELECT INTO}}.
