BigQuery Client - Class Dataset (1.26.1)

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

Datasets allow you to organize and control access to your tables.

Namespace

Google \ Cloud \ BigQuery

Methods

__construct

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

exists

Check whether or not the dataset exists.

Example:

echo $dataset->exists();

Returns
Type	Description
`bool`

delete

Delete the dataset.

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

Example:

$dataset->delete();

Parameters
Name	Description
`options`	`array` Configuration options.
`↳ deleteContents`	`bool` If true, delete all the tables in the dataset. If false and the dataset contains tables, the request will fail. Defaults to `false`.

update

Update the dataset.

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 this call will not automatically retry on your behalf unless an etag is set.

Example:

$dataset->update([
    'friendlyName' => 'A fanciful dataset.'
]);

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

table

Lazily instantiates a table. There are no network requests made at this point. To see the operations that can be performed on a dataset please see Table.

Example:

$table = $dataset->table('myTableId');

Parameter
Name	Description
`id`	`string` The id of the table to request.

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

tables

Fetches tables in the dataset.

Example:

$tables = $dataset->tables();

foreach ($tables as $table) {
    echo $table->id() . 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.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\Core\Iterator\ItemIterator<\google\cloud\bigquery\table>`

createTable

Creates a table.

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

Example:

$table = $dataset->createTable('aTable');

Parameters
Name	Description
`id`	`mixed`
`options`	`array` Configuration options.
`↳ metadata`	`array` The available options for metadata are outlined at the Table Resource API docs

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

model

Lazily instantiates a machine learning model in the dataset. There are no network requests made at this point. To see the operations that can be performed on a model, please see Model.

Example:

$model = $dataset->model('my_model');
echo $model->id();

Parameters
Name	Description
`id`	`string` The model's ID.
`info`	`array` [optional] The model resource data.

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

models

Fetches all of the models in the dataset.

Please note that Model instances obtained from this method contain only a subset of the resource representation. Fields returned include modelReference, modelType, creationTime, lastModifiedTime and labels. To obtain a full representation, call Google\Cloud\BigQuery\Model::reload().

Example:

$models = $dataset->models();

foreach ($models as $model) {
    echo $model->id() . 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.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\Core\Iterator\ItemIterator<\google\cloud\bigquery\model>`

routine

Lazily instantiates a routine.

There are no network requests made at this point. To see the operations that can be performed on a routine, please see Google\Cloud\BigQuery\Routine.

Example:

$routine = $dataset->routine('my_routine');
echo $routine->identity()['routineId'];

Parameters
Name	Description
`id`	`string` The routine's ID.
`info`	`array` [optional] The routine resource data.

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

routines

Fetches all of the routines in the dataset.

Please note that Routine instances obtained from this method contain only a subset of the resource representation. Fields returned include etag, projectId, datasetId, routineId, routineType, creationTime, lastModifiedTime and language. To obtain a full representation, call Google\Cloud\BigQuery\Routine::reload().

Example:

$routines = $dataset->routines();

foreach ($routines as $routine) {
