Overview

Table Schema

A builder for BigQuery table schemas, passed to block arguments to Dataset#create_table and Table#schema. Supports nested and repeated fields via a nested block.

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 |cities_lived|
    cities_lived.string "place", mode: :required
    cities_lived.integer "number_of_years", mode: :required
  end
end

.dump(schema, destination) ⇒ Schema

Write a schema as JSON to a file.

The JSON schema file is the same as for the bq CLI.

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

bigquery = Google::Cloud::Bigquery.new
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my_dataset"
table = dataset.table "my_table"
schema = Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.dump(
  table.schema,
  "schema.json"
)

Parameters:

  • schema (IO, String) —

    An Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.

  • destination (IO, String) —

    An IO to which to write the schema, or a String containing the filename to write to.

Returns:

  • (Schema) —

    The schema so that commands are chainable.

The JSON schema file is the same as for the bq CLI consisting of an array of JSON objects containing the following:

  • name: The column name
  • type: The column's data type
  • description: (Optional) The column's description
  • mode: (Optional) The column's mode (if unspecified, mode defaults to NULLABLE)
  • fields: If type is RECORD, an array of objects defining child fields with these properties

Examples:

require "google/cloud/bigquery"

schema = Google::Cloud::Bigquery::Schema.load(
  File.read("schema.json")
)

Parameters:

  • source (IO, String, Array<Hash>) —

    An IO containing the JSON schema, a String containing the JSON schema, or an Array of Hashes containing the schema details.
