Teradata has a very different syntax for SELECT INTO!

Normally we say "SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :outparam FROM mytab WHERE...",

Or in the case of SQL Server we say "SELECT @outparam = COUNT(*) FROM mytab WHERE...";

but Naresh's working example showed the INTO has to be placed after the table name:

>replace procedure sp (out j int)
>begin
>select count(*) from mytab into :j where c2 like 'a%';
>end;

I just wonder if anybody know the history of Teradata's decision to design SELECT INTO into the current syntax.
