Timo Walther created FLINK-20971: ------------------------------------ Summary: Allow SQL expressions in Table API Key: FLINK-20971 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20971 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Table SQL / API Reporter: Timo Walther Assignee: Timo Walther
Both FLIP-136 and FLIP-129 assume that a table schema is able to store both a SQL expression and a Table API one. Therefore we should introduce an expression in Table API that allows to use SQL expressions. This is also useful for other use cases where people prefer SQL expressions in Table API. An expression `callSql(String)` next to `call(udf)` can offer scalar operations such as: {code} table.select(callSql("1+1"), 12, call(Udf.class, $("f0"))) {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
