Hi François, as Vino said, the BatchTableEnvironment does not provide a `withFormat` method. Admittedly, the documentation does not state it too explicitly but you can only call the `withFormat` method on a table connector as indicated here [1]. If you think that you need to get the data from somewhere first before defining a format, then it becomes clear that you first need to define a connector.
