Xianxun Ye commented on FLINK-24567:
------------------------------------
_Why not create print_table as another view?_
Create table from a view could avoid defining table fields. So if there are a
hundred fields in a view, this way will save a lot of developing time.
Besides, when create table from a view, we should validate this table's Options
whether contain `connector` or `connector.type` option.
[~airblader] how do you think?
