Hi Chesnay

Currently that is what i have done, reading the schema from database in order to create a new table in jdbc database and writing the rows coming from jdbcinputformat.

Overall i am trying to implement the solution which reads the streaming data from one source which either could be coming from kafka, Jdbc, Hive, Hdfs and writing those streaming data to output source which is again could be any of those.

For a simple use case i have just taken one scenario using jdbc in and jdbc out, Since the jdbc input source returns the datastream of Row and to write them into jdbc database we have to create a table which requires schema.

Thanks
Punit

Hello,

I don't understand why you explicitly need the schema since the batch JDBCInput-/Outputformats don't require it.
That's kind of the nice thing about Rows.

Would be cool if you could tell us what you're planning to do with the schema :)

In any case, to get the schema within the plan then you will have to query the DB and build it yourself. Note that this
is executed on the client.

Chesnay

Hi Robert

Thanks for the response, So in near future release of the flink version , is this functionality going to be implemented ?

Thanks

Currently, there is no streaming JDBC connector.

    I'm not sure how well this works for the streaming API. Looping in
