Description:
There is a typo on the documentation page for "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT Statement" linked at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/create-table-select.html

The following SQL statement has a typo towards the end:

CREATE TABLE tv3 (a INT, b INT, c INT)
     >     SELECT * FROM (VALUES ROW(1,3,5), ROW(2,4,6)) AS v(x,y,z);

Whereby, running the statement is outputting a different result than is part of documentation.

How to repeat:
N/A. See description.

Suggested fix:
To get the required result from the SQL statement, the statement should be:

CREATE TABLE tv3 (a INT, b INT, c INT)
     >     SELECT * FROM (VALUES ROW(1,3,5), ROW(2,4,6)) AS v;
