Use struct functions to create Arrow structs in SQL queries.
- [named_struct](#named_struct)
- [row](#row)
- [struct](#struct)
## named_struct
Returns an _Arrow struct_ using the specified name and input expressions pairs.
```sql
named_struct(expression1_name, expression1_input[, ..., expression_n_name, expression_n_input])
```
### Arguments
- **expression_n_name**: Name of the column field. Must be a constant string.
- **expression_n_input**: Expression to include in the output struct.
Can be a constant, column, or function, and any combination of arithmetic or
string operators.

## row
_Alias of [`struct`](#struct)._
## struct
Returns an _Arrow struct_ using the specified input expressions optionally named.
Fields in the returned struct use the optional name or the `cN` naming convention.
Fields in the returned struct use the `cN` naming convention (for example: `c0`, `c1`, `c2`, etc.)
unless you specify custom names using the `AS` operator within individual expressions.
```sql
struct(expression1[, ..., expression_n])
```
### Arguments
- **expression1, expression_n**: Expression to include in the output struct.
Can be a constant, column, or function, and any combination of arithmetic or
string operators.
### Aliases

Use the `AS` operator in a `struct` expression argument to assign a name to the
struct field.

```sql
SELECT
struct(time AS 'time', temp AS 'temperature', hum) AS struct
