Description

Describe the bug
When I execute show create table a in spark, I get the ddl sql as below:

CREATE TABLE t_a (
a bigint,
b struct <c: bigint>
)

There is a ':' that is optional between field name and field type.

Actual behavior
I input this sql in web demo.

There is a error.

Parse error: Unexpected ": bigint> " at line 3 column 12. SQL dialect used: "spark".
