)

Describe a single field within a table schema.

Parameters
Name	Description
`name`	`str` The name of the field.
`field_type`	`str` The type of the field. See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#TableFieldSchema.FIELDS.type
`mode`	`str` Defaults to `'NULLABLE'`. The mode of the field. See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables#TableFieldSchema.FIELDS.mode
`default_value_expression`	`typing.Optional[str]` str, Optional Used to specify the default value of a field using a SQL expression. It can only be set for top level fields (columns). You can use a struct or array expression to specify default value for the entire struct or array. The valid SQL expressions are: - Literals for all data types, including STRUCT and ARRAY. - The following functions: `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` `CURRENT_TIME` `CURRENT_DATE` `CURRENT_DATETIME` `GENERATE_UUID` `RAND` `SESSION_USER` `ST_GEOPOINT` - Struct or array composed with the above allowed functions, for example: "[CURRENT_DATE(), DATE '2020-01-01'"]
`description`	`typing.Union[str, google.cloud.bigquery.schema._DefaultSentinel]` Description for the field.
`fields`	`typing.Iterable[SchemaField]` Subfields (requires `field_type` of 'RECORD').
`policy_tags`	`typing.Union[PolicyTagList, NoneType, google.cloud.bigquery.schema._DefaultSentinel]` The policy tag list for the field.
`precision`	`typing.Union[int, google.cloud.bigquery.schema._DefaultSentinel]` Precison (number of digits) of fields with NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC type.
`scale`	`typing.Union[int, google.cloud.bigquery.schema._DefaultSentinel]` Scale (digits after decimal) of fields with NUMERIC or BIGNUMERIC type.
`max_length`	`typing.Union[int, google.cloud.bigquery.schema._DefaultSentinel]` Maximum length of fields with STRING or BYTES type.
`range_element_type`	`typing.Union[google.cloud.bigquery.schema.FieldElementType, str, NoneType]` FieldElementType, str, Optional The subtype of the RANGE, if the type of this field is RANGE. If the type is RANGE, this field is required. Possible values for the field element type of a RANGE include `DATE`, `DATETIME` and `TIMESTAMP`.
