    parquet_compression: str = "snappy",
    timeout: typing.Union[None, float, typing.Tuple[float, float]] = None,
) -> google.cloud.bigquery.job.load.LoadJob

Upload the contents of a table from a pandas DataFrame.

Similar to load_table_from_uri, this method creates, starts and returns a xref_LoadJob.

Note: REPEATED fields are NOT supported when using the CSV source format. They are supported when using the PARQUET source format, but due to the way they are encoded in the parquet file, a mismatch with the existing table schema can occur, so REPEATED fields are not properly supported when using pyarrow<4.0.0 using the parquet format. https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/issues/19

Parameter
Name	Description
destination	typing.Union[google.cloud.bigquery.table.Table, google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference, str] The destination table to use for loading the data. If it is an existing table, the schema of the pandas.DataFrame must match the schema of the destination table. If the table does not yet exist, the schema is inferred from the pandas.DataFrame. If a string is passed in, this method attempts to create a table reference from a string using from_string. :keyword num_retries: Number of upload retries. :keyword job_id: Name of the job. :keyword job_id_prefix: The user-provided prefix for a randomly generated job ID. This parameter will be ignored if a job_id is also given. :keyword location: Location where to run the job. Must match the location of the destination table. :keyword project: Project ID of the project of where to run the job. Defaults to the client's project. :keyword job_config: Extra configuration options for the job. To override the default pandas data type conversions, supply a value for schema with column names matching those of the dataframe. The BigQuery schema is used to determine the correct data type conversion. Indexes are not loaded. By default, this method uses the parquet source format. To override this, supply a value for source_format with the format name. Currently only CSV and PARQUET are supported. :keyword parquet_compression: [Beta] The compression method to use if intermittently serializing dataframe to a parquet file. The argument is directly passed as the compression argument to the underlying pyarrow.parquet.write_table() method (the default value "snappy" gets converted to uppercase). https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.write_table.html#pyarrow-parquet-write-table If the job config schema is missing, the argument is directly passed as the compression argument to the underlying DataFrame.to_parquet() method. https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_parquet.html#pandas.DataFrame.to_parquet :keyword timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry. Depending on the retry strategy, a request may be repeated several times using the same timeout each time. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.

Exceptions
Type	Description
ValueError	If a usable parquet engine cannot be found. This method requires pyarrow to be installed.

Upload the contents of a table from a JSON string or dict.

Parameters
Name	Description
json_rows	Iterable[Dict[str, Any]] Row data to be inserted. Keys must match the table schema fields and values must be JSON-compatible representations. .. note:: If your data is already a newline-delimited JSON string, it is best to wrap it into a file-like object and pass it to load_table_from_file:: import io from google.cloud import bigquery data = u'{"foo": "bar"}' data_as_file = io.StringIO(data) client = bigquery.Client() client.load_table_from_file(data_as_file, ...)
destination	typing.Union[google.cloud.bigquery.table.Table, google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference, google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableListItem, str] Table into which data is to be loaded. If a string is passed in, this method attempts to create a table reference from a string using from_string. :keyword num_retries: Number of upload retries. :keyword job_id: Name of the job. :keyword job_id_prefix: The user-provided prefix for a randomly generated job ID. This parameter will be ignored if a job_id is also given. :keyword location: Location where to run the job. Must match the location of the destination table. :keyword project: Project ID of the project of where to run the job. Defaults to the client's project. :keyword job_config: Extra configuration options for the job. The source_format setting is always set to NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON. :keyword timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry. Depending on the retry strategy, a request may be repeated several times using the same timeout each time. Can also be passed as a tuple (connect_timeout, read_timeout). See requests.Session.request documentation for details.

update_dataset

update_dataset(dataset: google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.Dataset, fields: typing.Sequence[str], retry: google.api_core.retry.Retry = <google.api_core.retry.Retry object>, timeout: typing.Optional[float] = None) -> google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.Dataset

Change some fields of a dataset.

Use fields to specify which fields to update. At least one field must be provided. If a field is listed in fields and is None in dataset, it will be deleted.

If dataset.etag is not None, the update will only succeed if the dataset on the server has the same ETag.

Parameters
Name	Description
dataset	google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.Dataset The dataset to update.
fields	Sequence[str] The properties of dataset to change. These are strings corresponding to the properties of Dataset. For example, to update the default expiration times, specify both properties in the fields argument: .. code-block:: python bigquery_client.update_dataset( dataset, [ "default_partition_expiration_ms", "default_table_expiration_ms", ] )
retry	Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry] How to retry the RPC.
timeout	Optional[float] The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry.

Returns
Type	Description
google.cloud.bigquery.dataset.Dataset	The modified Dataset instance.

[Beta] Change some fields of a model.

Use fields to specify which fields to update. At least one field must be provided. If a field is listed in fields and is None in model, the field value will be deleted.

If model.etag is not None, the update will only succeed if the model on the server has the same ETag. Thus reading a model with get_model, changing its fields, and then passing it to update_model will ensure that the changes will only be saved if no modifications to the model occurred since the read.

Parameters
Name	Description
model	google.cloud.bigquery.model.Model The model to update.
fields	Sequence[str] The properties of model to change. These are strings corresponding to the properties of Model. For example, to update the descriptive properties of the model, specify them in the fields argument: .. code-block:: python bigquery_client.update_model( model, ["description", "friendly_name"] )
retry	Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry] A description of how to retry the API call.
timeout	Optional[float] The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry.

[Beta] Change some fields of a routine.

Use fields to specify which fields to update. At least one field must be provided. If a field is listed in fields and is None in routine, the field value will be deleted.

Warning: During beta, partial updates are not supported. You must provide all fields in the resource.

If xref_etag is not None, the update will only succeed if the resource on the server has the same ETag. Thus reading a routine with xref_get_routine, changing its fields, and then passing it to this method will ensure that the changes will only be saved if no modifications to the resource occurred since the read.

Parameters
Name	Description
routine	google.cloud.bigquery.routine.Routine The routine to update.
fields	Sequence[str] The fields of routine to change, spelled as the Routine properties. For example, to update the description property of the routine, specify it in the fields argument: .. code-block:: python bigquery_client.update_routine( routine, ["description"] )
retry	Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry] A description of how to retry the API call.
timeout	Optional[float] The number of seconds to wait for the underlying HTTP transport before using retry.
