    'kmsKeyName' => 'my_key'
]);

Parameter
Name	Description
`configuration`	`array` Custom encryption configuration.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

data

The data to be loaded into the table.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->data(fopen('/path/to/my/data.csv', 'r'));

Parameter
Name	Description
`data`	`string\|resource\|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface` The data to be loaded into the table.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

destinationTable

Sets the destination table to load the data into.

Example:

$table = $bigQuery->dataset('my_dataset')
    ->table('my_table');
$loadJobConfig->destinationTable($table);

Parameter
Name	Description
`destinationTable`	`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\Table` The destination table.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

encoding

Sets the character encoding of the data. BigQuery decodes the data after the raw, binary data has been split using the values of the quote and fieldDelimiter properties.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->encoding('UTF-8');

Parameter
Name	Description
`encoding`	`string` The encoding type. Acceptable values include `"UTF-8"`, `"ISO-8859-1"`. Defaults to `"UTF-8"`.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

fieldDelimiter

Sets the separator for fields in a CSV file. The separator can be any ISO-8859-1 single-byte character. To use a character in the range 128-255, you must encode the character as UTF8. BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. BigQuery also supports the escape sequence "\t" to specify a tab separator.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->fieldDelimiter('\t');

Parameter
Name	Description
`fieldDelimiter`	`string` The field delimiter. Defaults to `","`.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

ignoreUnknownValues

Sets whether values that are not represented in the table schema should be allowed. If true, the extra values are ignored. If false, records with extra columns are treated as bad records, and if there are too many bad records, an invalid error is returned in the job result.

The sourceFormat property determines what BigQuery treats as an extra value:

CSV: Trailing columns.
JSON: Named values that don't match any column names.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->ignoreUnknownValues(true);

Parameter
Name	Description
`ignoreUnknownValues`	`bool` Whether or not to ignore unknown values. Defaults to `false`.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

maxBadRecords

Sets the maximum number of bad records that BigQuery can ignore when running the job. If the number of bad records exceeds this value, an invalid error is returned in the job result.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->maxBadRecords(10);

Parameter
Name	Description
`maxBadRecords`	`int` The maximum number of bad records. Defaults to `0` (requires all records to be valid).

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

nullMarker

Sets a string that represents a null value in a CSV file. For example, if you specify "\N", BigQuery interprets "\N" as a null value when loading a CSV file. The default value is the empty string. If you set this property to a custom value, BigQuery throws an error if an empty string is present for all data types except for STRING and BYTE. For STRING and BYTE columns, BigQuery interprets the empty string as an empty value.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->nullMarker('\N');

Parameter
Name	Description
`nullMarker`	`string` The null marker.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

projectionFields

Sets a list of projection fields. If sourceFormat is set to "DATASTORE_BACKUP", indicates which entity properties to load into BigQuery from a Cloud Datastore backup. Property names are case sensitive and must be top-level properties. If no properties are specified, BigQuery loads all properties. If any named property isn't found in the Cloud Datastore backup, an invalid error is returned in the job result.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->projectionFields([
    'field_name'
]);

Parameter
Name	Description
`projectionFields`	`array` The projection fields.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

quote

Sets the value that is used to quote data sections in a CSV file.

BigQuery converts the string to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and then uses the first byte of the encoded string to split the data in its raw, binary state. If your data does not contain quoted sections, set the property value to an empty string. If your data contains quoted newline characters, you must also set the allowQuotedNewlines property to true.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->quote('"');

Parameter
Name	Description
`quote`	`string` The quote value. Defaults to `"""` (double quotes).

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

schema

Sets the schema for the destination table. The schema can be omitted if the destination table already exists, or if you're loading data from Google Cloud Datastore.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->schema([
    'fields' => [
        [
            'name' => 'col1',
            'type' => 'STRING',
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'col2',
            'type' => 'BOOL',
        ]
    ]
]);

`schema`	`array` The table schema.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

schemaUpdateOptions

Sets options to allow the schema of the destination table to be updated as a side effect of the query job. Schema update options are supported in two cases: when writeDisposition is "WRITE_APPEND"; when writeDisposition is "WRITE_TRUNCATE" and the destination table is a partition of a table, specified by partition decorators. For normal tables, "WRITE_TRUNCATE" will always overwrite the schema.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->schemaUpdateOptions([
    'ALLOW_FIELD_ADDITION'
]);

Parameter
Name	Description
`schemaUpdateOptions`	`array` Schema update options. Acceptable values include `"ALLOW_FIELD_ADDITION"` (allow adding a nullable field to the schema), `"ALLOW_FIELD_RELAXATION"` (allow relaxing a required field in the original schema to nullable).

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

skipLeadingRows

Sets the number of rows at the top of a CSV file that BigQuery will skip when loading the data. This property is useful if you have header rows in the file that should be skipped.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->skipLeadingRows(10);

Parameter
Name	Description
`skipLeadingRows`	`int` The number of rows to skip. Defaults to `0`.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\LoadJobConfiguration`

For Google Cloud Datastore backups: Exactly one URI can be specified. Also, the '*' wildcard character is not allowed.

Example:

$loadJobConfig->sourceUris([
    'gs://my_bucket/source.csv'
]);

Parameter
Name	Description
`sourceUris`	`array` The source URIs.

Returns
Type	Description
