Bug reference: 17130
Logged by: Viktor Alenkov
Email address: viktor@alenkov.name
PostgreSQL version: 13.3
Operating system: Docker
Description:
query:
CREATE SCHEMA "my_schema"
CREATE TABLE "my_ids" AS SELECT "a"."n" AS "id" FROM GENERATE_SERIES(1,
99) AS "a"("n");
I get the error `syntax error at or near "AS"`

Understandable: you forgot the semicolon after the create schema statement.

Actually, the syntax should be valid. You can add a DDL right after CREATE
SCHEMA without a semicolon in between (see the examples on
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/sql-createschema.html). But I fail to
explain why it doesn't work here. A workaround would be to add the
semicolon as you said, but it should work without.

CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE AS are two very different commands and only
the former is documented to work.

Oh, you're right. The schema_element only accepts CREATE TABLE, CREATE
VIEW, CREATE INDEX, CREATE SEQUENCE, CREATE TRIGGER and GRANT. There's no
CREATE TABLE AS on this list. My bad.

Right. CREATE SCHEMA allows additional DDL to create objects within
the schema right away, but it only does DDL not DML, so you can't
additionally populate the table as part of the command.
