public class Dataset extends DatasetInfo
A Google BigQuery Dataset.
Objects of this class are immutable. Operations that modify the dataset like #update
return a new object. To get a Dataset
object with the most recent information use #reload. Dataset
adds a layer of service-related functionality over DatasetInfo.
Methods
create(String tableId, TableDefinition definition, BigQuery.TableOption[] options)
public Table create(String tableId, TableDefinition definition, BigQuery.TableOption[] options)
Creates a new table in this dataset.
Example of creating a table in the dataset with schema and time partitioning.
String tableName = “my_table”;

StandardTableDefinition definition = StandardTableDefinition.newBuilder()
.setSchema(schema)
.setTimePartitioning(TimePartitioning.of(TimePartitioning.Type.DAY))
.build();
Table table = dataset.create(tableName, definition);
