Class Dataset (1.17.0)

Dataset(dataset_ref)

Datasets are containers for tables.

See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/datasets

Parameter

Name	Description
dataset_ref	`Union[ DatasetReference, str, ]` A pointer to a dataset. If `dataset_ref` is a string, it must include both the project ID and the dataset ID, separated by `.`.

Inheritance

builtins.object > Dataset

Properties

access_entries

List[google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.AccessEntry]: Dataset's access entries.

role augments the entity type and must be present unless the entity type is view.

Exceptions

Type	Description
TypeError	If 'value' is not a sequence
ValueError	If any item in the sequence is not an AccessEntry.

created

Union[datetime.datetime, None]: Datetime at which the dataset was created (:data:None until set from the server).

dataset_id

str: Dataset ID.

default_table_expiration_ms

Union[int, None]: Default expiration time for tables in the dataset (defaults to :data:None).

Exceptions

Type	Description
ValueError	For invalid value types.

description

Union[str, None]: Description of the dataset as set by the user (defaults to :data:None).

Exceptions

Type	Description
ValueError	for invalid value types.

etag

Union[str, None]: ETag for the dataset resource (:data:None until set from the server).

friendly_name

Union[str, None]: Title of the dataset as set by the user (defaults to :data:None).

Exceptions

Type	Description

full_dataset_id

Union[str, None]: ID for the dataset resource (:data:None until set from the server)

In the format project_id:dataset_id.

labels

Dict[str, str]: Labels for the dataset.

This method always returns a dict. To change a dataset's labels, modify the dict, then call xref_update_dataset. To delete a label, set its value to :data:None before updating.

path

str: URL path for the dataset based on project and dataset ID.

project

str: Project ID of the project bound to the dataset.

reference

google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.DatasetReference: A reference to this dataset.

self_link

Union[str, None]: URL for the dataset resource (:data:None until set from the server).
