vinoyang commented on FLINK-10143: ---------------------------------- Hi [~twalthr] We also encountered this problem and then found this issue. I want to know if we can improve its priority. Or temporarily remove this function from the official documentation or give a description of the problem. Otherwise it will cause trouble to the user. > date_format throws CodeGenException > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-10143 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10143 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: sean.miao > Priority: Major > Attachments: image-2018-08-14-18-11-40-144.png > > > "insert into mtmp_sink SELECT DATE_FORMAT(time_str2tms,'%Y%d%m') FROM > mtmp_source"; > We have recently used the date_format method like the above sql, but found > that this method does not work. > !image-2018-08-14-18-11-40-144.png! > error msg is : > org.apache.flink.table.codegen.CodeGenException: Incompatible types of > expression and result type.
