Dawid Wysakowicz commented on FLINK-17183:
------------------------------------------
How about we convert the issue to a "NEW FEATURE" instead of closing it? I
think its a valid feature request. Also is something wrong with the approach
suggested by the contributor? If there is could we help the contributor work on
it instead of ditching it?

> The 'create table [if not exists]' syntax is not supported by
> FlinkSqlParserImpl. For example, the following example will throw an error:
>
> {code:java}
> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS default_catalog.default_database.access_log_hive (
> source_ip VARCHAR,
> target_ip VARCHAR,
> behavior VARCHAR,
> comm VARCHAR,
> ts TIMESTAMP(3)
> ) WITH (
> 'key' = 'value',
> ...
> )
> {code}
> The error message is like this：
> {noformat}
> Caused by: org.apache.flink.table.api.SqlParserException: SQL parse failed.
> Encountered "NOT" at line 1, column 17.
> Was expecting one of:
> {{ <EOF> }}
> {{ "WITH" ...}}
> {{ "COMMENT" ...}}
> {{ "PARTITIONED" ...}}
> {{ "(" ...}}
> {{ "." ...}}{noformat}
