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.

Examples:

require "google/cloud"

gcloud = Google::Cloud.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
    }
  ]
}
table.insert row

#copy(destination_table, create: nil, write: nil, dryrun: nil) ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::CopyJob

Copies the data from the table to another 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.

Examples:

require "google/cloud"

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

copy_job = table.copy destination_table

Passing a string identifier for the destination table:

require "google/cloud"

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

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

Parameters:

  • destination_table (Table, String) —

    The destination for the copied data.

  • create (String) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables.

    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) —

    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.

Returns:

#load(file, format: nil, create: nil, write: nil, projection_fields: nil, jagged_rows: nil, quoted_newlines: nil, encoding: nil, delimiter: nil, ignore_unknown: nil, max_bad_records: nil, quote: nil, skip_leading: nil, dryrun: nil) ⇒ Google::Cloud::Bigquery::LoadJob

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.

Examples:

require "google/cloud"

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

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

Pass a google-cloud storage file instance:

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

gcloud = Google::Cloud.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

Upload a file directly:

require "google/cloud"

gcloud = Google::Cloud.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

Parameters:

  • file (File, Google::Cloud::Storage::File, String) —

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

  • format (String) —

    The exported file format. The default value is csv.

    The following values are supported:

  • create (String) —

    Specifies whether the job is allowed to create new tables.

    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) —

    Specifies how to handle data already present in the 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 table already contains data.
  • projection_fields (Array<String>) —

    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) —

    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) —

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

  • encoding (String) —

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

  • delimiter (String) —

    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) —

    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) —

    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.

  • quote (String) —

    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) —

    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.

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

Returns the table's schema. This method can also be used to set, replace, or add to the schema by passing a block. See Schema for available methods.

Examples:

require "google/cloud"

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

    nested_schema.integer "number_of_years", mode: :required
  end
end

Parameters:

  • replace (Boolean) —

    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.

Yields:

  • (schema) —

    a block for setting the schema

Yield Parameters:

  • schema (Schema) —

    the object accepting the schema
