Description

This is an umbrella issue for all efforts related to supporting a SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) in Flink's Table & SQL API.

Such a DDL includes creating, deleting, replacing:

• tables
• views
• functions
• types
• libraries
• catalogs

If possible, the parsing/validating/logical part should be done using Calcite. Related issues are CALCITE-707, CALCITE-2045, CALCITE-2046, CALCITE-2214, and others.
