[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-24567) Support create tables using CatalogView defination

["Ingo Bürk (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17429257#comment-17429257 ] 

Ingo Bürk commented on FLINK-24567:
-----------------------------------

I don't understand what this is supposed to mean / how it should work. A view is backed by a query expression, a table is not. Why not create print_table as another view?
