Table(table_ref, schema=None)

Tables represent a set of rows whose values correspond to a schema.

See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#resource-table

Parameters
Name	Description
table_ref	Union[google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference, str] A pointer to a table. If table_ref is a string, it must included a project ID, dataset ID, and table ID, each separated by ..
schema	Optional[Sequence[Union[ SchemaField, Mapping[str, Any] ]]] The table's schema. If any item is a mapping, its content must be compatible with from_api_repr.

Properties

See: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#Table.FIELDS.clone_definition

clustering_fields

Union[List[str], None]: Fields defining clustering for the table

(Defaults to :data:None).

Clustering fields are immutable after table creation.

Note: BigQuery supports clustering for both partitioned and non-partitioned tables.

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

dataset_id

ID of dataset containing the table.

description

Union[str, None]: Description of the table (defaults to :data:None).

Exceptions
Type	Description
ValueError	For invalid value types.

encryption_configuration

google.cloud.bigquery.encryption_configuration.EncryptionConfiguration: Custom encryption configuration for the table.

Custom encryption configuration (e.g., Cloud KMS keys) or :data:None if using default encryption.

See protecting data with Cloud KMS keys <https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/customer-managed-encryption>;_ in the BigQuery documentation.

etag

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

expires

Union[datetime.datetime, None]: Datetime at which the table will be deleted.

ValueError	For invalid value types.

friendly_name

Union[str, None]: Title of the table (defaults to :data:None).

Exceptions
Type	Description

full_table_id

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

In the format project-id:dataset_id.table_id.

labels

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

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

Exceptions
Type	Description
ValueError	If value type is invalid.

location

Union[str, None]: Location in which the table is hosted

Defaults to :data:None.

modified

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

mview_enable_refresh

Optional[bool]: Enable automatic refresh of the materialized view when the base table is updated. The default value is :data:True.

mview_last_refresh_time

Optional[datetime.datetime]: Datetime at which the materialized view was last refreshed (:data:None until set from the server).

mview_query

Optional[str]: SQL query defining the table as a materialized view (defaults to :data:None).

mview_refresh_interval

Optional[datetime.timedelta]: The maximum frequency at which this materialized view will be refreshed. The default value is 1800000 milliseconds (30 minutes).

num_bytes

Union[int, None]: The size of the table in bytes (:data:None until set from the server).

num_rows

Union[int, None]: The number of rows in the table (:data:None until set from the server).

partition_expiration

Union[int, None]: Expiration time in milliseconds for a partition.

If partition_expiration is set and type_ is not set, type_ will default to DAY.

partitioning_type

Union[str, None]: Time partitioning of the table if it is partitioned (Defaults to :data:None).

path

URL path for the table's APIs.

project

Project bound to the table.

range_partitioning

Optional[google.cloud.bigquery.table.RangePartitioning]: Configures range-based partitioning for a table.

Note: Beta. The integer range partitioning feature is in a pre-release state and might change or have limited support.

Only specify at most one of xref_time_partitioning or xref_range_partitioning.

Exceptions
Type	Description
ValueError	If the value is not RangePartitioning or :data:None.

reference

A xref_TableReference pointing to this table.

Returns
Type	Description
google.cloud.bigquery.table.TableReference	pointer to this table.

require_partition_filter

bool: If set to true, queries over the partitioned table require a partition filter that can be used for partition elimination to be specified.

schema

Sequence[Union[ xref_SchemaField, Mapping[str, Any] ]]: Table's schema.

Exceptions
Type	Description
Exception	If schema is not a sequence, or if any item in the sequence is not a SchemaField instance or a compatible mapping representation of the field.

self_link

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

snapshot_definition

Information about the snapshot. This value is set via snapshot creation.

See: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#Table.FIELDS.snapshot_definition
