Methods

build()

public Field build()

Creates a Field object.

Returns
Type	Description
`Field`

setCollation(String collation)

public Field.Builder setCollation(String collation)

Optional. Field collation can be set only when the type of field is STRING. The following values are supported:

* 'und:ci': undetermined locale, case insensitive. * '': empty string. Default to case-sensitive behavior. (-- A wrapper is used here because it is possible to set the value to the empty string. --)

Parameter
Name	Description
`collation`	`String`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

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']"

Parameter
Name	Description
`defaultValueExpression`	`String`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

setDescription(String description)

public Field.Builder setDescription(String description)

Sets the field description. The maximum length is 16K characters.

Parameter
Name	Description
`description`	`String`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

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.

Parameter
Name	Description
`maxLength`	`Long`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

setMode(Field.Mode mode)

public Field.Builder setMode(Field.Mode mode)

Sets the mode of the field. When not specified Mode#NULLABLE is used.

Parameter
Name	Description
`mode`	`Field.Mode`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

setName(String name)

public Field.Builder setName(String name)

Sets the field name. The name must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), or underscores (_), and must start with a letter or underscore. The maximum length is 128 characters.

Parameter
Name	Description
`name`	`String`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

setPolicyTags(PolicyTags policyTags)

public Field.Builder setPolicyTags(PolicyTags policyTags)

Sets the policy tags for the field.

Parameter
Name	Description
`policyTags`	`PolicyTags`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

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
Name	Description
`precision`	`Long`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`

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.

Parameter
Name	Description
`scale`	`Long`

Returns
Type	Description
`Field.Builder`
