A SQL query needs to be embedded within a table program that is written either in Java or Scala. The table program needs to be packaged with a build tool before it can be submitted to a cluster. This limits the usage of Flink to mostly Java/Scala programmers. + +The *SQL Client* aims to provide an easy way of writing, debugging, and submitting table programs to a Flink cluster without a single line of code. The *SQL Client CLI* allows for retrieving and visualizing real-time results from the running distributed application on the command line. + +<a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/fig/sql_client_demo.gif"><img class="offset" src="{{ site.baseurl }}/fig/sql_client_demo.gif" alt="Animated demo of the Flink SQL Client CLI running table programs on a cluster" width="80%" /></a> + --- End diff -- Use either: ```<span class="label label-danger">Attention</span>``` or ``` <div class="alert alert-info"> <strong>Note:</strong> .... </div> ```
