DESCRIBE 语句

DESCRIBE 语句用来描述一张表或者视图的 Schema。

执行 DESCRIBE 语句

DESCRIBE 语句可以通过 TableEnvironment 的 executeSql() 执行，也可以在 SQL CLI 中执行 DROP 语句。 若 DESCRIBE 操作执行成功，executeSql() 方法返回该表的 Schema，否则会抛出异常。

以下的例子展示了如何在 TableEnvironment 和 SQL CLI 中执行一个 DESCRIBE 语句。

EnvironmentSettings settings = EnvironmentSettings.newInstance()...
TableEnvironment tableEnv = TableEnvironment.create(settings);
// register a table named "Orders"
tableEnv.executeSql(
        "CREATE TABLE Orders (" +
        " `user` BIGINT NOT NULl," +
        " product VARCHAR(32)," +
        " amount INT," +
        " ts TIMESTAMP(3)," +
        " ptime AS PROCTIME()," +
        " PRIMARY KEY(`user`) NOT ENFORCED," +
        " WATERMARK FOR ts AS ts - INTERVAL '1' SECONDS" +
        ") with (...)");
// print the schema
tableEnv.executeSql("DESCRIBE Orders").print();

val settings = EnvironmentSettings.newInstance()...
val tableEnv = TableEnvironment.create(settings)
// register a table named "Orders"
 tableEnv.executeSql(
        "CREATE TABLE Orders (" +
        " `user` BIGINT NOT NULl," +
        " product VARCHAR(32)," +
        " amount INT," +
        " ts TIMESTAMP(3)," +
        " ptime AS PROCTIME()," +
        " PRIMARY KEY(`user`) NOT ENFORCED," +
        " WATERMARK FOR ts AS ts - INTERVAL '1' SECONDS" +
        ") with (...)")
// print the schema
tableEnv.executeSql("DESCRIBE Orders").print()

settings = EnvironmentSettings.new_instance()...
table_env = StreamTableEnvironment.create(env, settings)
# register a table named "Orders"
table_env.execute_sql( \
        "CREATE TABLE Orders (" 
        " `user` BIGINT NOT NULl," 
        " product VARCHAR(32),"
        " amount INT,"
        " ts TIMESTAMP(3),"
        " ptime AS PROCTIME(),"
        " PRIMARY KEY(`user`) NOT ENFORCED,"
        " WATERMARK FOR ts AS ts - INTERVAL '1' SECONDS"
        ") with (...)");
# print the schema
table_env.execute_sql("DESCRIBE Orders").print()
