setDefaultValueExpression(String defaultValueExpression)

public Field.Builder setDefaultValueExpression(String defaultValueExpression)

DefaultValueExpression is used to specify the default value of a field using a SQL expression. It can only be set for top level fields (columns).

You can use struct or array expression to specify default value for the entire struct or array. The valid SQL expressions are:

Literals for all data types, including STRUCT and ARRAY. The following functions:

  • CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
  • CURRENT_TIME
  • CURRENT_DATE
  • CURRENT_DATETIME
  • GENERATE_UUID
  • RAND
  • SESSION_USER
  • ST_GEOGPOINT

    Struct or array composed with the above allowed functions, for example: "[CURRENT_DATE(), DATE '2020-01-01']"

setMaxLength(Long maxLength)

public Field.Builder setMaxLength(Long maxLength)

Sets the maximum length of the field for STRING or BYTES type.

It is invalid to set value for types other than STRING or BYTES.

For STRING type, this represents the maximum UTF-8 length of strings allowed in the field. For BYTES type, this represents the maximum number of bytes in the field.

setPrecision(Long precision)

public Field.Builder setPrecision(Long precision)

Precision can be used to constrain the maximum number of total digits allowed for NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC types. It is invalid to set values for Precision for types other than // NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC. For NUMERIC type, acceptable values for Precision must be: 1 ≤ (Precision - Scale) ≤ 29. Values for Scale must be: 0 ≤ Scale ≤ 9. For BIGNUMERIC type, acceptable values for Precision must be: 1 ≤ (Precision - Scale) ≤ 38. Values for Scale must be: 0 ≤ Scale ≤ 38.

Parameter
NameDescription

Returns
TypeDescription

setScale(Long scale)

public Field.Builder setScale(Long scale)

Scale can be used to constrain the maximum number of digits in the fractional part of a NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC type. If the Scale value is set, the Precision value must be set as well. It is invalid to set values for Scale for types other than NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC. See the Precision field for additional guidance about valid values.
