Result

+I(1234567890,swq,1997-04-25,test,[ly, zpk, swq, zjy],zjy,[f11,111, f12,222],111,13:13:13,1997-04-25T14:14:14,{flink=123},123,{inner_map={key=234}},234)

CAUTION:

Use the following methods to obtain elements in the containers of different types.
- map: map['key']

- array: array[index]

- row: row.key
The index of an array starts from 1. Array[1] is the first element.
The elements of an array must be of the same type, and the elements of a row can be of different types.
