INTO [table] [AS type]

This indicates that the ultimate result of the SELECT command should be written to a table (with the given name). This table can be a reference table, a plain table, or a memory table.

The table argument gives the name of the resulting table. It can be omitted if a memory table is created.

The type argument is optional and can be one of several values:

MEMORY

to store the result in a memory table.

PLAIN

to store the result in a plain table. Its endian format is determined by the aipsrc definition.

PLAIN_BIG

to store the result in a plain table in big-endian format.

PLAIN_LITTLE

to store the result in a plain table in little-endian format.

PLAIN_LOCAL

to store the result in a plain table in native endian format.

If type is not given, the result will be written in a reference table. However, if expressions are given in the column list of a projection, the result is written in a plain table.
The standard TaQL way to define the output table is the GIVING clause. INTO is available for SQL compliance.
