ROUTINE_OPTIONS view

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view contains one row for each option of each routine in a dataset.

Required permissions

To query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view, you need the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions:

bigquery.routines.get
bigquery.routines.list

Each of the following predefined IAM roles includes the permissions that you need in order to get routine metadata:

roles/bigquery.admin
roles/bigquery.metadataViewer
roles/bigquery.dataViewer

For more information about BigQuery permissions, see Access control with IAM.

Schema

When you query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view, the query results contain one row for each option of each routine in a dataset.

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view has the following schema:

Column name	Data type	Value
`SPECIFIC_CATALOG`	`STRING`	The name of the project that contains the routine where the option is defined
`SPECIFIC_SCHEMA`	`STRING`	The name of the dataset that contains the routine where the option is defined
`SPECIFIC_NAME`	`STRING`	The name of the routine
`OPTION_NAME`	`STRING`	One of the name values in the options table
`OPTION_TYPE`	`STRING`	One of the data type values in the options table
`OPTION_VALUE`	`STRING`	One of the value options in the options table

Options table

`OPTION_NAME`	`OPTION_TYPE`	`OPTION_VALUE`
`description`	`STRING`	The description of the routine, if defined
`library`	`ARRAY`	The names of the libraries referenced in the routine. Only applicable to JavaScript UDFs

Scope and syntax

Queries against this view must include a dataset or a region qualifier. For more information see Syntax. The following table explains the region and resource scopes for this view:

View name	Resource scope	Region scope
[PROJECT_ID.]`region-REGION`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS	Project level	`REGION`
`[PROJECT_ID.]DATASET_ID.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS`	Dataset level	Dataset location

Replace the following:

Optional: PROJECT_ID: the ID of your Google Cloud project. If not specified, the default project is used.
REGION: any dataset region name. For example, region-us.
DATASET_ID: the ID of your dataset. For more information, see Dataset qualifier.

Example

-- Returns metadata for routines in a single dataset.
SELECT * FROM myDataset.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

-- Returns metadata for routines in a region.
SELECT * FROM region-us.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

Example

Example 1:

The following example retrieves the routine options for all routines in mydataset in your default project (myproject) by querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS view:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  mydataset.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_OPTIONS;

The result is similar to the following:
