Dialect differences
HTML is a file format and Redshift is a database server, so the target has to be told the types the file never carried - the rows below are where the two sides diverge.

| identifiers | Attribute values in quotes; entities for reserved characters | "double quotes" |
| row limit | — | LIMIT n |
| dates | Whatever text was rendered | timestamp, date |
| long text | — | VARCHAR(MAX) |
| binary | data: URIs inside src attributes | — |
| separator | Tags, not delimiters | — |
| encoding | Declared in a meta charset tag or the HTTP header | — |
| typing | None | — |
| shape | Free form; tables are row/column structures inside markup | Tables of rows and columns |
