Overview

Table

A named resource representing a BigQuery table that holds zero or more records. Every table is defined by a schema that may contain nested and repeated fields. (For more information about nested and repeated fields, see Preparing Data for BigQuery.)

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"

table = dataset.create_table "my_table" do |schema|
  schema.string "first_name", mode: :required
  schema.record "cities_lived", mode: :repeated do |nested_schema|
    nested_schema.string "place", mode: :required
    nested_schema.integer "number_of_years", mode: :required
  end
end

row = {
  "first_name" => "Alice",
  "cities_lived" => [
    {
      "place" => "Seattle",
      "number_of_years" => 5
    },
    {
      "place" => "Stockholm",
      "number_of_years" => 6
    }
  ]
}

#copy(destination_table, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Copies the data from the table to another table.

Parameters

destination_table

The destination for the copied data. (Table or String)

options

An optional Hash for controlling additional behavior. (Hash)

options[:create]

Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. (String)

The following values are supported:

  • needed - Create the table if it does not exist.

  • never - The table must already exist. A ‘notFound’ error is raised if the table does not exist.

options[:write]

Specifies how to handle data already present in the destination table. The default value is empty. (String)

The following values are supported:

  • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.

  • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.

Returns

Gcloud::Bigquery::CopyJob

Examples

require "gcloud"

dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
destination_table = dataset.table "my_destination_table"

copy_job = table.copy destination_table

The destination table argument can also be a string identifier as specified by the Query Reference: project_name:datasetId.tableId. This is useful for referencing tables in other projects and datasets.

#insert(rows, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Inserts data into the table for near-immediate querying, without the need to complete a #load operation before the data can appear in query results. See Streaming Data Into BigQuery .

Parameters

rows

A hash object or array of hash objects containing the data. (Array or Hash)

options

An optional Hash for controlling additional behavior. (Hash)

An optional Hash for controlling additional behavior. (Hash)

options[:format]

The exported file format. The default value is csv. (String)

The following values are supported:

options[:create]

Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. (String)

The following values are supported:

  • needed - Create the table if it does not exist.

  • never - The table must already exist. A ‘notFound’ error is raised if the table does not exist.

If the format option is set to datastore_backup, indicates which entity properties to load from a Cloud Datastore backup. Property names are case sensitive and must be top-level properties. If not set, BigQuery loads all properties. If any named property isn’t found in the Cloud Datastore backup, an invalid error is returned. (Array)

Returns

Gcloud::Bigquery::LoadJob

Examples

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

load_job = table.load "gs://my-bucket/file-name.csv"

You can also pass a gcloud storage file instance.

require "gcloud"
require "gcloud/storage"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

storage = gcloud.storage
bucket = storage.bucket "my-bucket"
file = bucket.file "file-name.csv"
load_job = table.load file

Or, you can upload a file directly. See Data with a POST Request[ cloud.google.com/bigquery/loading-data-post-request#multipart].

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

file = File.open "my_data.csv"
load_job = table.load file

A note about large direct uploads

You may encounter a broken pipe error while attempting to upload large files. To avoid this problem, add httpclient as a dependency to your project, and configure Faraday to use it, after requiring Gcloud, but before initiating your Gcloud connection.

require "gcloud"

Faraday.default_adapter = :httpclient

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"

#schema(options = {}) {|schema_builder| ... } ⇒ Object

Returns the table’s schema as hash containing the keys and values returned by the Google Cloud BigQuery Rest API . This method can also be used to set, replace, or add to the schema by passing a block. See Table::Schema for available methods. To set the schema by passing a hash instead, use #schema=.

Parameters

options

An optional Hash for controlling additional behavior. (Hash)

options[:replace]

Whether to replace the existing schema with the new schema. If true, the fields will replace the existing schema. If false, the fields will be added to the existing schema. When a table already contains data, schema changes must be additive. Thus, the default value is false. (Boolean)

Examples

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table"

table.schema do |schema|
