Background

Exasol 6.0 introduced the possibility to IMPORT FROM SCRIPT into a table or use it like a select to create a temporary result table.

Examples

-- into table
import into test.t from script etl.generate_seq WITH RECORDS='5';

-- into resultset / subselect
import into (val int) from script etl.generate_seq WITH RECORDS='5';

Problem

If you use parentheses around the table name, instead of providing column definitions, an internal server error occurs instead of a proper error message:

import into (test.t) from script etl.generate_seq WITH RECORDS='5';
