-----------------------------------

             Summary: Directly allow SQL queries on a Table
                 Key: FLINK-5441
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5441
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Table API & SQL
            Reporter: Timo Walther


Right now a user has to register a table before it can be used in SQL queries. In order to allow more fluent programming we propose calling SQL directly on a table. An underscore can be used to reference the current table:

{code}
myTable.sql("SELECT a, b, c FROM _ WHERE d = 12")
{code}
