The "top-level" SELECT for interactive use is
<direct SQL statement> ::= <directly executable statement> <semicolon>
<directly executable statement> ::= <direct SQL data statement> | ...
<direct SQL data statement> ::= <direct select statement: multiple rows> | ...
But this actually does resolve as just VALUES (something), so nevermind.
