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.

The Table class can also represent a view, which is a virtual table defined by a SQL query. BigQuery's views are logical views, not materialized views, which means that the query that defines the view is re-executed every time the view is queried. Queries are billed according to the total amount of data in all table fields referenced directly or indirectly by the top-level query. (See #view?, #query, #query=, and Dataset#create_view.)

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
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
    }
  ]
}
table.insert row

Creating a BigQuery view:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
view = dataset.create_view "my_view",
         "SELECT name, age FROM `my_project.my_dataset.my_table`"
view.view? # true

#copy(destination_table, create: nil, write: nil) {|job| ... } ⇒ Boolean

Copies the data from the table to another table using a synchronous method that blocks for a response. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the job. See also #copy_job.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via CopyJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method. If the table is a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the location of the job will be automatically set to the location of the table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
destination_table = dataset.table "my_destination_table"

table.copy destination_table

Passing a string identifier for the destination table:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

table.copy "other-project:other_dataset.other_table"

Parameters:

  • destination_table (Table, String) —

    The destination for the copied data. This can also be a string identifier as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id). This is useful for referencing tables in other projects and datasets.

  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    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.
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

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

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the destination table already contains data.

Yields:

  • (job) —

    a job configuration object

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Returns true if the copy operation succeeded.

#copy_job(destination_table, create: nil, write: nil, job_id: nil, prefix: nil, labels: nil, dryrun: nil) {|job| ... } ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::CopyJob

Copies the data from the table to another table using an asynchronous method. In this method, a CopyJob is immediately returned. The caller may poll the service by repeatedly calling Job#reload! and Job#done? to detect when the job is done, or simply block until the job is done by calling #Job#wait_until_done!. See also #copy.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via CopyJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method. If the table is a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the location of the job will be automatically set to the location of the table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
destination_table = dataset.table "my_destination_table"

copy_job = table.copy_job destination_table

Passing a string identifier for the destination table:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

copy_job = table.copy_job "other-project:other_dataset.other_table"

copy_job.wait_until_done!
copy_job.done? #=> true

Parameters:

  • destination_table (Table, String) —

    The destination for the copied data. This can also be a string identifier as specified by the Standard SQL Query Reference (project-name.dataset_id.table_id) or the Legacy SQL Query Reference (project-name:dataset_id.table_id). This is useful for referencing tables in other projects and datasets.

  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    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.
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

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

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the destination table already contains data.
  • job_id (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A user-defined ID for the copy job. The ID must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • prefix (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A string, usually human-readable, that will be prepended to a generated value to produce a unique job ID. For example, the prefix daily_import_job_ can be given to generate a job ID such as daily_import_job_12vEDtMQ0mbp1Mo5Z7mzAFQJZazh. The prefix must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length of the entire ID is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A hash of user-provided labels associated with the job. You can use these to organize and group your jobs.

    The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

    • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
    • Each label must be a key-value pair.
    • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters, and cannot be empty. Values can be empty, and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
    • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.
    • The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources.
    • Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character.
  • dryrun (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    If set, don't actually run this job. Behavior is undefined however for non-query jobs and may result in an error. Deprecated.

Yields:

  • (job) —

    a job configuration object

#extract(extract_url, format: nil, compression: nil, delimiter: nil, header: nil) {|job| ... } ⇒ Boolean

Extracts the data from the table to a Google Cloud Storage file using a synchronous method that blocks for a response. Timeouts and transient errors are generally handled as needed to complete the job. See also #extract_job.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via ExtractJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method. If the table is a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the location of the job will be automatically set to the location of the table.

Examples:

Extract to a JSON file:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

table.extract "gs://my-bucket/file-name.json", format: "json"

Extract to a CSV file, attaching labels to the job:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

table.extract "gs://my-bucket/file-name.csv" do |extract|
  extract.labels = { "custom-label" => "custom-value" }
end

Parameters:

  • extract_url (Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, Array<String>) —

    The Google Storage file or file URI pattern(s) to which BigQuery should extract the table data.

  • format (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The exported file format. The default value is csv.

    The following values are supported:

  • compression (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The compression type to use for exported files. Possible values include GZIP and NONE. The default value is NONE.

  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Delimiter to use between fields in the exported data. Default is ,.

  • header (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Whether to print out a header row in the results. Default is true.

Yields:

  • (job) —

    a job configuration object

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Returns true if the extract operation succeeded.

#extract_job(extract_url, format: nil, compression: nil, delimiter: nil, header: nil, job_id: nil, prefix: nil, labels: nil, dryrun: nil) {|job| ... } ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::ExtractJob

Extracts the data from the table to a Google Cloud Storage file using an asynchronous method. In this method, an ExtractJob is immediately returned. The caller may poll the service by repeatedly calling Job#reload! and Job#done? to detect when the job is done, or simply block until the job is done by calling #Job#wait_until_done!. See also #extract.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via ExtractJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method. If the table is a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the location of the job will automatically be set to the location of the table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

extract_job = table.extract_job "gs://my-bucket/file-name.json",
                                format: "json"
extract_job.wait_until_done!
extract_job.done? #=> true

Parameters:

  • extract_url (Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, Array<String>) —

    The Google Storage file or file URI pattern(s) to which BigQuery should extract the table data.

  • format (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The exported file format. The default value is csv.

    The following values are supported:

  • compression (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The compression type to use for exported files. Possible values include GZIP and NONE. The default value is NONE.

  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Delimiter to use between fields in the exported data. Default is ,.

  • header (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Whether to print out a header row in the results. Default is true.

  • job_id (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A user-defined ID for the extract job. The ID must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • prefix (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A string, usually human-readable, that will be prepended to a generated value to produce a unique job ID. For example, the prefix daily_import_job_ can be given to generate a job ID such as daily_import_job_12vEDtMQ0mbp1Mo5Z7mzAFQJZazh. The prefix must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length of the entire ID is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A hash of user-provided labels associated with the job. You can use these to organize and group your jobs.

    The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

    • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
    • Each label must be a key-value pair.
    • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters, and cannot be empty. Values can be empty, and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
    • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.
    • The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources.
    • Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character.
  • dryrun (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    If set, don't actually run this job. Behavior is undefined however for non-query jobs and may result in an error. Deprecated.

Yields:

  • (job) —

    a job configuration object

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

#insert(rows, insert_ids: nil, skip_invalid: nil, ignore_unknown: nil) ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::InsertResponse

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.

Because BigQuery's streaming API is designed for high insertion rates, modifications to the underlying table metadata are eventually consistent when interacting with the streaming system. In most cases metadata changes are propagated within minutes, but during this period API responses may reflect the inconsistent state of the table.

The value :skip can be provided to skip the generation of IDs for all rows, or to skip the generation of an ID for a specific row in the array.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

rows = [
  { "first_name" => "Alice", "age" => 21 },
  { "first_name" => "Bob", "age" => 22 }
]
table.insert rows

Avoid retrieving the dataset and table with skip_lookup:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset", skip_lookup: true
table = dataset.table "my_table", skip_lookup: true

rows = [
  { "first_name" => "Alice", "age" => 21 },
  { "first_name" => "Bob", "age" => 22 }
]
table.insert rows

Parameters:

  • rows (Hash, Array<Hash>) —

    A hash object or array of hash objects containing the data. Required.

  • insert_ids (Array<String|Symbol>, Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    A unique ID for each row. BigQuery uses this property to detect duplicate insertion requests on a best-effort basis. For more information, see data consistency. Optional. If not provided, the client library will assign a UUID to each row before the request is sent.

  • skip_invalid (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Insert all valid rows of a request, even if invalid rows exist. The default value is false, which causes the entire request to fail if any invalid rows exist.

  • ignore_unknown (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Accept rows that contain values that do not match the schema. The unknown values are ignored. Default is false, which treats unknown values as errors.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

Create an asynchronous inserter object used to insert rows in batches.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
inserter = table.insert_async do |result|

  { "first_name" => "Alice", "age" => 21 },
  { "first_name" => "Bob", "age" => 22 }
]
inserter.insert rows

inserter.stop.wait!

Parameters:

  • skip_invalid (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Insert all valid rows of a request, even if invalid rows exist. The default value is false, which causes the entire request to fail if any invalid rows exist.

  • ignore_unknown (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Accept rows that contain values that do not match the schema. The unknown values are ignored. Default is false, which treats unknown values as errors.

  • max_rows (Integer) (defaults to: 500) —

    The maximum number of rows to be collected before the batch is published. Default is 500.

#labels=(labels) ⇒ Object

Updates the hash of user-provided labels associated with this table. Labels are used to organize and group tables. See Using Labels.

If the table is not a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the full representation will be retrieved before the update to comply with ETag-based optimistic concurrency control.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

table.labels = { "department" => "shipping" }

Parameters:

  • labels (Hash<String, String>) —

    A hash containing key/value pairs.

    The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

    • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
    • Each label must be a key-value pair.
    • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters, and cannot be empty. Values can be empty, and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
    • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.

Loads data into the table. You can pass a google-cloud storage file path or a google-cloud storage file instance. Or, you can upload a file directly. See Loading Data with a POST Request.

The geographic location for the job ("US", "EU", etc.) can be set via LoadJob::Updater#location= in a block passed to this method. If the table is a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the location of the job will be automatically set to the location of the table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

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

Pass a google-cloud-storage File instance:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"
require "google/cloud/storage"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

storage = Google::Cloud::Storage.new
bucket = storage.bucket "my-bucket"
file = bucket.file "file-name.csv"
success = table.load file

Pass a list of google-cloud-storage files:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"
require "google/cloud/storage"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

storage = Google::Cloud::Storage.new
bucket = storage.bucket "my-bucket"
file = bucket.file "file-name.csv"
table.load [file, "gs://my-bucket/file-name2.csv"]

Upload a file directly:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"

file = File.open "my_data.json"
success = table.load file do |j|
  j.format = "newline_delimited_json"
end

Parameters:

  • files (File, Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, URI, Array<Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String, URI>) —

    A file or the URI of a Google Cloud Storage file, or an Array of those, containing data to load into the table.

  • format (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The exported file format. The default value is csv.

    The following values are supported:

  • create (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables. The default value is needed.

    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.
  • write (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies how to handle data already present in the table. The default value is append.

    The following values are supported:

    • truncate - BigQuery overwrites the table data.
    • append - BigQuery appends the data to the table.
    • empty - An error will be returned if the table already contains data.
  • projection_fields (Array<String>) (defaults to: nil) —

    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.

  • jagged_rows (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Accept rows that are missing trailing optional columns. The missing values are treated as nulls. If false, records with missing trailing columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false. Only applicable to CSV, ignored for other formats.

  • quoted_newlines (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should allow quoted data sections that contain newline characters in a CSV file. The default value is false.

  • autodetect (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should automatically infer the options and schema for CSV and JSON sources. The default value is false.

  • encoding (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The character encoding of the data. The supported values are UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. The default value is UTF-8.

  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifices the separator for fields in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. Default is ,.

  • ignore_unknown (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should allow extra values that are not represented in the table schema. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false.

    The format property determines what BigQuery treats as an extra value:

    • CSV: Trailing columns
    • JSON: Named values that don't match any column names
  • max_bad_records (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    The maximum number of bad records that BigQuery can ignore when running the job. If the number of bad records exceeds this value, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is 0, which requires that all records are valid.

  • null_marker (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies a string that represents a null value in a CSV file. For example, if you specify \N, BigQuery interprets \N as a null value when loading a CSV file. The default value is the empty string. If you set this property to a custom value, BigQuery throws an error if an empty string is present for all data types except for STRING and BYTE. For STRING and BYTE columns, BigQuery interprets the empty string as an empty value.

  • quote (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The value that is used to quote data sections in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. The default value is a double-quote ". If your data does not contain quoted sections, set the property value to an empty string. If your data contains quoted newline characters, you must also set the allowQuotedNewlines property to true.

  • skip_leading (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    The number of rows at the top of a CSV file that BigQuery will skip when loading the data. The default value is 0. This property is useful if you have header rows in the file that should be skipped.

Yields:

  • (updater) —

    A block for setting the schema of the destination table and other options for the load job. The schema can be omitted if the destination table already exists, or if you're loading data from a Google Cloud Datastore backup.

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Returns true if the load job was successful.

  • quoted_newlines (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should allow quoted data sections that contain newline characters in a CSV file. The default value is false.

  • autodetect (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should automatically infer the options and schema for CSV and JSON sources. The default value is false.

  • encoding (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The character encoding of the data. The supported values are UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. The default value is UTF-8.

  • delimiter (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifices the separator for fields in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. Default is ,.

  • ignore_unknown (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Indicates if BigQuery should allow extra values that are not represented in the table schema. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is false.

    The format property determines what BigQuery treats as an extra value:

    • CSV: Trailing columns
    • JSON: Named values that don't match any column names
  • max_bad_records (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    The maximum number of bad records that BigQuery can ignore when running the job. If the number of bad records exceeds this value, an invalid error is returned in the job result. The default value is 0, which requires that all records are valid.

  • null_marker (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies a string that represents a null value in a CSV file. For example, if you specify \N, BigQuery interprets \N as a null value when loading a CSV file. The default value is the empty string. If you set this property to a custom value, BigQuery throws an error if an empty string is present for all data types except for STRING and BYTE. For STRING and BYTE columns, BigQuery interprets the empty string as an empty value.

  • quote (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The value that is used to quote data sections in a CSV file. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. The default value is a double-quote ". If your data does not contain quoted sections, set the property value to an empty string. If your data contains quoted newline characters, you must also set the allowQuotedNewlines property to true.

  • skip_leading (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    The number of rows at the top of a CSV file that BigQuery will skip when loading the data. The default value is 0. This property is useful if you have header rows in the file that should be skipped.

  • job_id (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A user-defined ID for the load job. The ID must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

    See Generating a job ID.

  • prefix (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    A string, usually human-readable, that will be prepended to a generated value to produce a unique job ID. For example, the prefix daily_import_job_ can be given to generate a job ID such as daily_import_job_12vEDtMQ0mbp1Mo5Z7mzAFQJZazh. The prefix must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), or dashes (-). The maximum length of the entire ID is 1,024 characters. If job_id is provided, then prefix will not be used.

  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A hash of user-provided labels associated with the job. You can use these to organize and group your jobs.

    The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

    • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
    • Each label must be a key-value pair.
    • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters, and cannot be empty. Values can be empty, and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
    • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.
    • The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources.
    • Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character.
  • dryrun (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    If set, don't actually run this job. Behavior is undefined however for non-query jobs and may result in an error. Deprecated.

Yields:

  • (load_job) —

    a block for setting the load job

Yield Parameters:

  • load_job (LoadJob) —

    the load job object to be updated

Returns:

end

#schema(replace: false) {|schema| ... } ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema?

Returns the table's schema. If the table is not a view (See #view?), this method can also be used to set, replace, or add to the schema by passing a block. See Schema for available methods.

If the table is not a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the full representation will be retrieved.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table"

table.schema 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

Load the schema from a file

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table"
table.schema do |schema|
  schema.load File.open("schema.json")
end

Parameters:

  • replace (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    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. When loading from a file this will always replace the schema, no matter what replace is set to. You can update the schema (for example, for a table that already contains data) by providing a schema file that includes the existing schema plus any new fields.

Yields:

  • (schema) —

    a block for setting the schema

Yield Parameters:

  • schema (Schema) —

    the object accepting the schema

#set_query(query, standard_sql: nil, legacy_sql: nil, udfs: nil) ⇒ Object

Updates the query that executes each time the view is loaded. Allows setting of standard vs. legacy SQL and user-defined function resources.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
view = dataset.table "my_view"

view.set_query "SELECT first_name FROM " \
                 "`my_project.my_dataset.my_table`",
               standard_sql: true

Parameters:

  • query (String) —

    The query that defines the view.

  • standard_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether to use BigQuery's standard SQL dialect. Optional. The default value is true.

  • legacy_sql (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) —

    Specifies whether to use BigQuery's legacy SQL dialect. Optional. The default value is false.

  • udfs (Array<String>, String) (defaults to: nil) —

    User-defined function resources used in a legacy SQL query. May be either a code resource to load from a Google Cloud Storage URI (gs://bucket/path), or an inline resource that contains code for a user-defined function (UDF). Providing an inline code resource is equivalent to providing a URI for a file containing the same code.

    This parameter is used for defining User Defined Function (UDF) resources only when using legacy SQL. Users of standard SQL should leverage either DDL (e.g. CREATE [TEMPORARY] FUNCTION ...) or the Routines API to define UDF resources.

    For additional information on migrating, see: Migrating to standard SQL - Differences in user-defined JavaScript functions

#table? ⇒ Boolean?

Checks if the table's type is "TABLE".

Returns:

  • (Boolean, nil) —

    true when the type is TABLE, false otherwise, if the object is a resource (see #resource?); nil if the object is a reference (see #reference?).

  @gapi.type == "TABLE"
end

#table_id ⇒ String

A unique ID for this table.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The ID must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), or underscores (_). The maximum length is 1,024 characters.

end

#time_partitioning? ⇒ Boolean?

Checks if the table is time partitioned. See Partitioned Tables.

Returns:

  • (Boolean, nil) —

    true when the table is time partitioned, or false otherwise, if the object is a resource (see #resource?); nil if the object is a reference (see #reference?).

end

#time_partitioning_expiration ⇒ Integer?

The expiration for the time partitions, if any, in seconds. See Partitioned Tables.

Returns:

  • (Integer, nil) —

    The expiration time, in seconds, for data in time partitions, or nil if not present or the object is a reference (see #reference?).

  return nil if @gapi.time_partitioning.expiration_ms.nil?
  @gapi.time_partitioning.expiration_ms / 1_000
end

#time_partitioning_expiration=(expiration) ⇒ Object

Sets the time partition expiration for the table. See Partitioned Tables. The table must also be time partitioned.

See #time_partitioning_type=.

If the table is not a full resource representation (see #resource_full?), the full representation will be retrieved before the update to comply with ETag-based optimistic concurrency control.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table" do |t|
  t.schema do |schema|
    schema.timestamp "dob", mode: :required
  end
  t.time_partitioning_type = "DAY"
  t.time_partitioning_field = "dob"
  t.time_partitioning_expiration = 86_400
end

Parameters:

  • expiration (Integer) —

    An expiration time, in seconds, for data in time partitions.

  patch_gapi! :time_partitioning
end

#time_partitioning_field ⇒ String?

The field on which the table is time partitioned, if any. If not set, the destination table is time partitioned by pseudo column _PARTITIONTIME; if set, the table is time partitioned by this field. See Partitioned Tables.

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    The time partition field, if a field was configured. nil if not time partitioned, not set (time partitioned by pseudo column '_PARTITIONTIME') or the object is a reference (see #reference?).

  ensure_full_data!
  @gapi.time_partitioning.field if time_partitioning?
end

#time_partitioning_field=(field) ⇒ Object

Sets the field on which to time partition the table. If not set, the destination table is time partitioned by pseudo column _PARTITIONTIME; if set, the table is time partitioned by this field. See Partitioned Tables. The table must also be time partitioned.

See #time_partitioning_type=.

You can only set the time partitioning field while creating a table as in the example below. BigQuery does not allow you to change time partitioning on an existing table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.create_table "my_table" do |t|
  t.schema do |schema|
    schema.timestamp "dob", mode: :required
  end
  t.time_partitioning_type  = "DAY"
  t.time_partitioning_field = "dob"
end

Parameters:

  • field (String) —

    The time partition field. The field must be a top-level TIMESTAMP or DATE field. Its mode must be NULLABLE or REQUIRED.

end

#time_partitioning_type ⇒ String?

The period for which the table is time partitioned, if any. See Partitioned Tables.

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    The time partition type. The supported types are DAY, HOUR, MONTH, and YEAR, which will generate one partition per day, hour, month, and year, respectively; or nil if not set or the object is a reference (see #reference?).

end

#time_partitioning_type=(type) ⇒ Object

Sets the time partitioning type for the table. See Partitioned Tables. The supported types are DAY, HOUR, MONTH, and YEAR, which will generate one partition per day, hour, month, and year, respectively.

You can only set time partitioning when creating a table as in the example below. BigQuery does not allow you to change time partitioning on an existing table.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"

  t.schema do |schema|
    schema.timestamp "dob", mode: :required
  end
  t.time_partitioning_type  = "DAY"
  t.time_partitioning_field = "dob"
end

Parameters:

  • type (String) —

    The time partition type. The supported types are DAY, HOUR, MONTH, and YEAR, which will generate one partition per day, hour, month, and year, respectively.

end

#view? ⇒ Boolean?

Checks if the table's type is "VIEW", indicating that the table represents a BigQuery view. See Dataset#create_view.

Returns:

  • (Boolean, nil) —

    true when the type is VIEW, false otherwise, if the object is a resource (see #resource?); nil if the object is a reference (see #reference?).
