Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported LOAD DATA INFILE query in the SQL parser and inspect how the lexer handles the LINES keyword and the following parenthesized column list. Confirm the expected behavior with a focused parser test; done means the formatted query parses without an unexpected-token error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

This query, when formatted will give an unexpected token error because there's no space after LINES.

LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' IGNORE INTO TABLE `db`.`table` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES (`column_1`, `column_2`);
