Timo Walther commented on FLINK-10562: -------------------------------------- [~f.pompermaier] Escaping in SQL queries is already possible using backticks: {code} select * from `my table` {code} > Relax (or document) table name constraints > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-10562 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10562 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 1.6.1 > Reporter: Flavio Pompermaier > Priority: Minor > > At the moment it's not possible to register a table whose name starts with a > number (e.g. 1_test). Moreover this constraint is not reported in the > documentation. > I propose to enable table name escaping somehow in order to enable more > general scenarios like those having spaces in between (e.g. select * from 'my > table' ). > Best, > Flavio > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
