Agree, I started paying attention to duckdb when it started allowing FROM before SELECT https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/pull/5076

I appreciate the command first syntax, but maybe something like

; SELECT FROM sources ... WHERE / ORDER / ETC ... DATA fields ...

What if DATA was a reserved keyword for column identifiers and other data fields that would normally be immediately after SELECT so they could appear anywhere in the query syntax?
