BigQuery Client - Class Table (1.25.1)

Reference documentation and code samples for the BigQuery Client class Table.

Tables are a standard two-dimensional table with individual records organized in rows, and a data type assigned to each column (also called a field).

Namespace

Google \ Cloud \ BigQuery

Methods

__construct

Parameters
Name	Description
`connection`	`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\Connection\ConnectionInterface` Represents a connection to BigQuery.
`id`	`string` The table's id.
`datasetId`	`string` The dataset's id.
`projectId`	`string` The project's id.
`mapper`	`Google\Cloud\BigQuery\ValueMapper` Maps values between PHP and BigQuery.
`info`	`array` [optional] The table's metadata.
`location`	`string\|null` [optional] A default geographic location, used when no table metadata exists.

exists

Check whether or not the table exists.

Example:

if ($table->exists()) {
    echo 'Table exists!';
}

Returns
Type	Description
`bool`

delete

Delete the table.

Please note that by default the library will not attempt to retry this call on your behalf.

Example:

$table->delete();

Parameter
Name	Description
`options`	`array` [optional] Configuration options.

update

Update the table.

Providing an etag key as part of $metadata will enable simultaneous update protection. This is useful in preventing override of modifications made by another user. The resource's current etag can be obtained via a GET request on the resource.

Please note that by default the library will not automatically retry this call on your behalf unless an etag is set.

Example:

$table->update([
    'friendlyName' => 'A friendly name.'
]);

Parameters
Name	Description
`metadata`	`array` The available options for metadata are outlined at the Table Resource API docs
`options`	`array` [optional] Configuration options.

rows

Retrieves the rows associated with the table and merges them together with the schema.

Example:

$rows = $table->rows();

foreach ($rows as $row) {
    echo $row['name'] . PHP_EOL;
}

Parameters
Name	Description
`options`	`array` Configuration options.
`↳ maxResults`	`int` Maximum number of results to return per page.
`↳ resultLimit`	`int` Limit the number of results returned in total. Defaults to `0` (return all results).
`↳ pageToken`	`string` A previously-returned page token used to resume the loading of results from a specific point.
`↳ startIndex`	`int` Zero-based index of the starting row.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\Core\Iterator\ItemIterator`

$sourceTable = $bigQuery->dataset('myDataset')

}

Parameters
Name	Description
`rows`	`array` The rows to insert. Each item in the array must contain a `data` key which is to hold a key/value array with data matching the schema of the table. Optionally, one may also provide an `insertId` key which will be used to ensure data consistency.
`options`	`array` Configuration options.
`↳ autoCreate`	`bool` Whether or not to attempt to automatically create the table in the case it does not exist. Please note, it will be required to provide a schema through $tableMetadata['schema'] in the case the table does not already exist. Defaults to `false`.

`↳ maxRetries`	`int` The maximum number of times to attempt creating the table in the case of failure. Please note, each retry attempt may take up to two minutes. Only applies when `autoCreate` is `true`. Defaults to `100`.
`↳ skipInvalidRows`	`bool` Insert all valid rows of a request, even if invalid rows exist. The default value is `false`, which causes the entire request to fail if any invalid rows exist. Defaults to `false`.
`↳ ignoreUnknownValues`	`bool` Accept rows that contain values that do not match the schema. The unknown values are ignored. The default value is `false`, which treats unknown values as errors. Defaults to `false`.
`↳ templateSuffix`	`string` If specified, treats the destination table as a base template, and inserts the rows into an instance table named "{destination}{templateSuffix}". BigQuery will manage creation of the instance table, using the schema of the base template table. See Creating tables automatically using template tables for considerations when working with templates tables.
