Description

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/table.html

TABLE is a DML statement introduced in MySQL 8.0.19 which returns rows and columns of the named table.

TABLE table_name [ORDER BY column_name] [LIMIT number [OFFSET number]]

The TABLE statement in some ways acts like SELECT. Given the existence of a table named t, the following two statements produce identical output:

TABLE t;

SELECT * FROM t;

You can order and limit the number of rows produced by TABLE using ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses, respectively. These function identically to the same clauses when used with SELECT (including an optional OFFSET clause with LIMIT).
