Chloe He updated FLINK-34898: ----------------------------- Description: I'm trying to create named structs using Flink SQL and I found a previous ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9161 that mentions the use of the following syntax: {code:java} SELECT CAST(('a', 1) as ROW<a STRING, b INT>) AS row1; {code} However, my named struct has a single field and effectively it should look something like `\{"a": 1}`. I can't seem to be able to find a way to construct this. I have experimented with a few different syntax and it either throws parsing error or casting error: {code:java} Cast function cannot convert value of type INTEGER to type RecordType(VARCHAR(2147483647) a) {code} was: I'm trying to create named structs using Flink SQL and I found a previous ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9161 that mentions the use of the following syntax: ```sql SELECT CAST(('a', 1) as ROW<a STRING, b INT>) AS row1; ``` However, my named struct has a single field and effectively it should look something like `\{"a": 1}`.
