The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-createtableas.html
Description:

If I create a table with CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table_name AS, and the
table exists already, I get a NOTICE instead of an ERROR.

I wanted to have it clarified explicitly that the data from the SELECT
statement is ignored in this case.
