> Add support for basic type Date in Table API
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2961
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2961
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Timo Walther
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the basic type {{Date}} is not implemented in the Table API. In
> order to have a mapping of the most important ANSI SQL types for FLINK-2099.
> It makes sense to add support for {{Date}} to represent date, time and
> timestamps of milliseconds precision.
> Only the types `LONG` and `STRING` can be casted to `DATE` and vice versa. A
> `LONG` casted to `DATE` must be a milliseconds timestamp. A `STRING` casted
> to `DATE` must have the format "`yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS`", "`yyyy-MM-dd`",
> "`HH:mm:ss`", or a milliseconds timestamp. All timestamps refer to the UTC
> timezone beginning from January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 in milliseconds.
