Class Dataset (2.43.1)

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”;
 String fieldName = “my_field”;
 Schema schema = Schema.of(Field.of(fieldName, LegacySQLTypeName.STRING));
 StandardTableDefinition definition = StandardTableDefinition.newBuilder()
     .setSchema(schema)
     .setTimePartitioning(TimePartitioning.of(TimePartitioning.Type.DAY))
     .build();
 Table table = dataset.create(tableName, definition);

Parameters
Name	Description
`tableId`	`String` the table's user-defined id
`definition`	`TableDefinition` the table's definition
`options`	`TableOption[]` options for table creation

Returns
Type	Description
`Table`	a `Table` object for the created table

delete(BigQuery.DatasetDeleteOption[] options)

public boolean delete(BigQuery.DatasetDeleteOption[] options)
