class TableEnvironment(object):
    """
    A table environment is the base class, entry point, and central context for creating Table
    and SQL API programs.

    It is unified for bounded and unbounded data processing.

    A table environment is responsible for:

        - Connecting to external systems.
        - Registering and retrieving :class:`~pyflink.table.Table` and other meta objects from a
          catalog.
        - Executing SQL statements.
        - Offering further configuration options.

    The path in methods such as :func:`create_temporary_view`
    should be a proper SQL identifier. The syntax is following
    [[catalog-name.]database-name.]object-name, where the catalog name and database are optional.
    For path resolution see :func:`use_catalog` and :func:`use_database`. All keywords or other
    special characters need to be escaped.

    Example: `cat.1`.`db`.`Table` resolves to an object named 'Table' (table is a reserved
    keyword, thus must be escaped) in a catalog named 'cat.1' and database named 'db'.

    .. note::

        This environment is meant for pure table programs. If you would like to convert from or to
        other Flink APIs, it might be necessary to use one of the available language-specific table
        environments in the corresponding bridging modules.

        1. When table_or_data_stream is a :class:`~pyflink.table.Table`:

            Registers a :class:`~pyflink.table.Table` API object as a temporary view similar to SQL
            temporary views.

            Temporary objects can shadow permanent ones. If a permanent object in a given path
            exists, it will be inaccessible in the current session. To make the permanent object
            available again you can drop the corresponding temporary object.

        2. When table_or_data_stream is a :class:`~pyflink.datastream.DataStream`:

            2.1 When fields_or_schema is a str or a sequence of :class:`~pyflink.table.Expression`:

                Creates a view from the given {@link DataStream} in a given path with specified
                field names. Registered views can be referenced in SQL queries.

                1. Reference input fields by name: All fields in the schema definition are
                referenced by name (and possibly renamed using an alias (as). Moreover, we can
                define proctime and rowtime attributes at arbitrary positions using arbitrary names
                (except those that exist in the result schema). In this mode, fields can be
                reordered and projected out. This mode can be used for any input type, including
                POJOs.

                Example:
                ::

                    >>> stream = ...
                    # reorder the fields, rename the original 'f0' field to 'name' and add
                    # event-time attribute named 'rowtime'

                    # use str
                    >>> table_env.create_temporary_view(
                    ...     "cat.db.myTable",
                    ...     stream,
                    ...     "f1, rowtime.rowtime, f0 as 'name'")

                    # or use a sequence of expression
                    >>> table_env.create_temporary_view(
                    ...     "cat.db.myTable",

                    ...     col("f1"),
                    ...     col("rowtime").rowtime,
                    ...     col("f0").alias('name'))

                2. Reference input fields by position: In this mode, fields are simply renamed.
                Event-time attributes can replace the field on their position in the input data
                (if it is of correct type) or be appended at the end. Proctime attributes must be
                appended at the end. This mode can only be used if the input type has a defined
                field order (tuple, case class, Row) and none of the {@code fields} references a
                field of the input type.

                Example:
                ::

                    >>> stream = ...
                    # rename the original fields to 'a' and 'b' and extract the internally attached
                    # timestamp into an event-time attribute named 'rowtime'

                    # use str
                    >>> table_env.create_temporary_view(
                    ...     "cat.db.myTable", stream, "a, b, rowtime.rowtime")

                    # or use a sequence of expressions
                    >>> table_env.create_temporary_view(
                    ...     "cat.db.myTable",
                    ...     stream,
                    ...     col("a"),
                    ...     col("b"),
                    ...     col("rowtime").rowtime)

                Temporary objects can shadow permanent ones. If a permanent object in a given path
                exists, it will be inaccessible in the current session. To make the permanent object
                available again you can drop the corresponding temporary object.

            2.2 When fields_or_schema is a :class:`~pyflink.table.Schema`:

                Creates a view from the given {@link DataStream} in a given path. Registered views
                can be referenced in SQL queries.

                schema). In this mode, fields can be reordered and projected out. This mode can be
                used for any input type.

                2. Reference input fields by position:

                In this mode, fields are simply renamed. Event-time attributes can replace the field
                on their position in the input data (if it is of correct type) or be appended at the
                end. Proctime attributes must be appended at the end. This mode can only be used if
                the input type has a defined field order (tuple, case class, Row) and none of the
                fields references a field of the input type.

        2. When fields_or_schema is a Schema:

            Converts the given DataStream into a Table.

            Column names and types of the Table are automatically derived from the TypeInformation
            of the DataStream. If the outermost record's TypeInformation is a CompositeType, it will
            be flattened in the first level. Composite nested fields will not be accessible.

            Since the DataStream API does not support changelog processing natively, this method
            assumes append-only/insert-only semantics during the stream-to-table conversion. Records
            of class Row must describe RowKind.INSERT changes.

            By default, the stream record's timestamp and watermarks are not propagated unless
            explicitly declared.

            This method allows to declare a Schema for the resulting table. The declaration is
            similar to a {@code CREATE TABLE} DDL in SQL and allows to:

                1. enrich or overwrite automatically derived columns with a custom DataType
                2. reorder columns
                3. add computed or metadata columns next to the physical columns
                4. access a stream record's timestamp
                5. declare a watermark strategy or propagate the DataStream watermarks

            It is possible to declare a schema without physical/regular columns. In this case, those
            columns will be automatically derived and implicitly put at the beginning of the schema
            declaration.

            The following examples illustrate common schema declarations and their semantics:

            Example:
            ::

                === EXAMPLE 1 ===

                no physical columns defined, they will be derived automatically,
                e.g. BigDecimal becomes DECIMAL(38, 18)

                >>> Schema.new_builder() \
                ...     .column_by_expression("c1", "f1 + 42") \
                ...     .column_by_expression("c2", "f1 - 1") \
                ...     .build()

                equal to: CREATE TABLE (f0 STRING, f1 DECIMAL(38, 18), c1 AS f1 + 42, c2 AS f1 - 1)

                === EXAMPLE 2 ===

                physical columns defined, input fields and columns will be mapped by name,
                columns are reordered and their data type overwritten,
                all columns must be defined to show up in the final table's schema

                >>> Schema.new_builder() \
                ...     .column("f1", "DECIMAL(10, 2)") \
                ...     .column_by_expression("c", "f1 - 1") \
                ...     .column("f0", "STRING") \
                ...     .build()

                equal to: CREATE TABLE (f1 DECIMAL(10, 2), c AS f1 - 1, f0 STRING)

                === EXAMPLE 3 ===

                timestamp and watermarks can be added from the DataStream API,
                physical columns will be derived automatically

                >>> Schema.new_builder() \
                ...     .column_by_metadata("rowtime", "TIMESTAMP_LTZ(3)") \
                ...     .watermark("rowtime", "SOURCE_WATERMARK()") \
                ...     .build()

                equal to:
                    CREATE TABLE (
                        f0 STRING,
                        f1 DECIMAL(38, 18),
                        rowtime TIMESTAMP(3) METADATA,
                        WATERMARK FOR rowtime AS SOURCE_WATERMARK()

        The given Schema is used to configure the table runtime to convert columns and internal data
        structures to the desired representation. The following example shows how to
        convert a table column into a Row type.

        Example:

        operator of the DataStream API. Afterwards, the Types semantics of the DataStream API need
        to be considered.

        If the input table contains a single rowtime column, it will be propagated into a stream
        record's timestamp. Watermarks will be propagated as well.

        If the rowtime should not be a concrete field in the final Row anymore, or the schema should
        be symmetrical for both :func:`from_changelog_stream` and :func:`to_changelog_stream`, the
        rowtime can also be declared as a metadata column that will be propagated into a stream
        record's timestamp. It is possible to declare a schema without physical/regular columns.
        In this case, those columns will be automatically derived and implicitly put at the
