No specific reason. We internally translate SELECT statement to CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
statement for some purpose. And our QA generate lots of things to test including
something like /select "a ", r_name from region/ stuff and that failed because literal "a
" failed the create table part.
You know it's hard to persuade QA that some tests they've done are not reasonable :). BTW,
any insights to my question?

just curious: Why do you want to have trailing space in column names?
